The importance of TVET in Malaysian education is aimed at employment and the main emphasis on practices in the industry in producing a competent workforce in specific fields, meeting the needs of the industry, and contributing to the growth of the country's economy. Even so, the interactions between TVET and the asnaf group in shaping employability have long been controversial, hampered partly by a lack of empirical evidence. This study highlights the view to make TVET an opportunity preamble for the job security of the asnaf group through an in-depth literature review. Several pieces of evidence have been identified that have paved the way to help the asnaf group in securing the labor market through the role that will be played by the authorities, including the private sector. Overall, we conclude that the importance of empowering TVET to the asnaf group is in line with the upcoming industrial revolution and the use of technology in our daily lives. The authority should introduce a policy to assist asnaf aligns with the industry's needs. This policy will create opportunities for the asnaf group to be independent and competent to work at every opportunity given based on their respective educational backgrounds and skills.
