This study uses mean score, standard deviation and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for statistical measurement. Results of this study taken will be shared with vocational colleges, which may use the findings to improve the employability skills of students. The findings will also be utilised to shape academic and vocational modules as well as the process of teaching and learning.
