This study examines secondary students' attitudes toward TVET. The public mindset of 3D illusions affects Malaysia's future aspirations for TVET. The purpose of this study is to understand why high school students do not value skills education as a means of improving their career prospects. A behavioral Insights approach was developed based on behavioral theories and social learning theory to identify environmental, social, and personal influences on student attitude. In this study, two phases were conducted- a survey and an experimental phase. The overall findings indicated that there was a low level of negative attitudes toward TVET. As a result of experimental testing, significant changes in attitudes towards TVET's curriculum & goals, as well as its roles, were discovered. The study results indicate that TVET literacy can reduce the negative mindset of TVET and encourage more after-school students to pursue TVET and join the pool of skilled workers.
