Abstract

This study focuses on evaluating the applicability of the main components, items, and the entire entrepreneurial training ecosystem model for the Malaysian Skills Certificate (MSC) training program. Forty-eight(48) expert instructors were selected as respondents to this study using the modified Nominal Group Technique (NGT) method. They are made up of instructors from various fields of training. Several criteria were considered during the selection, such as education level, expertise, working experience, achievements, and involvement in formulating the curriculum and trainee assessment system. Their selection is balanced between public and private MSC-accredited centres. The most important thing is that they are users of the model that has been developed. A questionnaire containing six (6) main components and a total of 43 items was given to all expert instructors. The results of the evaluation by all respondents found that all of these components and items have been accepted for their usability. Overall, they think this model can increase awareness and competence and produce entrepreneurs among MSC trainees when they completed training later.
