How Creative TVET Education Is Shaping Malaysia’s Future Talent in Game Art, Animation and Digital Media

KUALA LUMPUR, 26 June 2026 — As Malaysia strengthens its TVET ecosystem, creative technology is emerging as a key pathway for students interested in games, animation, film, visual effects, and digital content creation. Beyond artistic talent, today’s creative industries demand practical skills, industry-standard workflows, portfolio development, and real production experience, particularly in growing fields such as 3D Digital Game Art, 3D Animation, visual effects, virtual production, and immersive media.

Visitors gathered at the Claz’room College booth during Hari TVET Negara 2026 to explore creative technology, 3D Digital Game Art, and multimedia art education pathways

Claz’room College, recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) as Malaysia’s Leading Creative College, continues to support this direction through industry-oriented programmes in Digital Illustration, 3D Modelling, Digital 3D Animation, and Film Visual Effects (VFX).  These programmes are designed to help students build practical creative skills that are relevant to the needs of the gaming, animation, film, and digital media industries.

This commitment was recently highlighted at Hari TVET Negara 2026, where Claz’room College was invited to participate as the only college representing Malaysia’s 3D Digital Game Art industry.

Held from 5 to 7 June 2026, Hari TVET Negara 2026 brought together industry leaders, educational institutions, government agencies, and training providers to showcase the future of TVET education in Malaysia. The national-level event featured six major hubs covering industry collaboration, seminars, career opportunities, entrepreneurship, skills challenges, and public engagement activities.

Claz’room College was selected to represent the Future Skills Showcase and Technology Demonstration category, where the college presented how creative technology and digital production skills are shaping the next generation of Malaysia’s creative workforce.

One of the key highlights at the Claz’room College booth was an Augmented Reality (AR) mobile activation experience developed in collaboration with TrueXR. Through this interactive showcase, visitors were able to experience immersive 3D visuals through a mobile device, demonstrating how AR can be used in digital storytelling, education, entertainment, and creative media.
