Summary
Education plays significant roles to anticipate the social and global changes. The vocational education, which is different from the general academic school, is specially developed to train students with employment abilities related to the demands of industries [1]. The contemporary industries require employees with high competencies, including hard and soft skills [2], [3]. Hard skills refer to technical competency related to a specific job. While soft skills or employability skills refer to general and nontechnical skills required to perform various tasks [4], [5]. Employability skills positively related to an individual ability for managing current job and anticipating career transitions [6] and achieving job satisfaction [7]
