TVET digital skillsIn today's competitive job market, having digital knowledge is a must. These will be deemed critical in the future. The next day, they will be ordinary and boring, at best. In the same way that it is taken for granted that human resources can read (at least in many places, if not everywhere). Using those skills can be grouped into: Digital literacy is the set of skills that prepare an individual for twenty-first century living, learning, and working, including the ability to think and creatively utilise the ever-evolving language and tools of the digital world. Digital knowledge [or fluency], which expands on a solid grounding in the language to allow for the consideration of its real-world implications, the avoidance of drawbacks, the anticipation of opportunities, and the execution of skilful, exploratory planning. While it's true that there's a growing need for people with digital skills in the so-called "Information and Communications Technology" (ICT) and "digital" industries, it is reasonable to suppose that virtually all jobs require them to some extent (Al-Rahmi et al., 2020). Digital literacy and competency are in high demand, and not just in the IT department, as the use of mobile, social, and analytical tools spreads throughout every function of every organisation, including in tertiary and higher education. Digitization is neither "IT" nor "ICT." In reality, "ICT" is such a clearly 21st-century term that TVET needs to move on from it. There are no longer any papers or policies about ICT available. Now, TVET means TVET that focuses on technology. There is no longer a need for "ICT instructors" because every TVET teacher knows how to use technology. Simple digital literacy has been replaced by digital literacy for all, not just a few. Blended learning is the process of learning in person and online at the same time. According to Manser Payne et al., (2021), industry professionals need strong technical skills in mobile, analytics, and social media, as evidenced by articles like "Business Professionals Must Understand the Digital Age Language." This understanding is expanding. One remedy has been the movement of IT specialists into management positions, as well as the reverse, albeit this is less typical. But neither approach is sufficient to address the issues of the present. The real solution is to accept that "management in the context of digitization" is the term's new definition and to provide training in line with that understanding. In similar manner "automobile electronics in the context of digitization," "automobile electronics" must be designed and delivered to TVET student as planned. TVET centres should offer both preservice and continuing education to prepare their students for the workforce (Subrahmanyam, 2020). Thus, on a very practical level, such centres should rapidly, reflecting this trend towards "digital ubiquity," consider the future of their digitization (formerly ICT) units in favour of all subject areas (design, engineering, transportation, etc.) being effectively digitally based.
