B a c k g r o u n d Since the launch of ASEAN integration in 2015, all Southeast Asian countries have positioned Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) in the mainstream of education systems and setting it as a priority in their education agenda in view of the fact that this type of education plays an important role in the socio-economic development of a nation (Paryono 2013). In addition, TVET has been identified as one of the seven priority areas in education in Southeast Asia, which were agreed at the Strategic Dialogue of Education Ministers (SDEM) meeting in September 2014. Over the years, the polytechnic sector has played a significant role in producing quality manpower in the technical and professional areas to meet the needs of the economy. Engaging learners with internship or training experiences in other countries become a pivotal strategy of TVET institutions that will improve graduates with languages, advanced skills and knowledge, global competitiveness, and employability. In this connection, the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) initiated the SEAMEO Polytechnic Network in April 2016 as part of SEA-TVET Consortium to enhance internationalisation and partnership of Polytechnics and TVET institutions in the region through cross-country internship placement programme. O b j e c t i v e s 1. To enhance global competitiveness, knowledge and skills of TVET diplomabachelor students through cross-country internship placement experiences in other Southeast Asian countries. 2. To create a sustainable network platform and partnership among polytechnics and TVET colleges/institutions in Southeast Asia 3. To strengthen and encourage the participation of industry for the improvement of TVET education in Southeast Asia. 2
