ABSTRAK
Dalam menghadapi era pembangunan yang semakin berkembang pesat, belia perlu mempersiapkan diri dengan ilmu pengetahuan dan latihan. Namun, masih terdapat ramai belia terutamanya di kawasan luar bandar yang tidak menyambung pengajian dalam bidang akademik mahupun latihan kemahiran. Akibatnya, mereka ketinggalan dalam memainkan peranan sebagai penggiat ekonomi. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenalpasti latar belakang dan inisiatif belia yang tidak menyambung pengajian. Kajian tinjauan menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif deskriptif dan disokong oleh data kualitatif telah dijalankan dikawasan luar bandar. Soal selidik telah diedarkan kepada 1600 orang belia di luar bandar dan seramai 1259 orang telah melengkapkan soal selidik untuk dianalisis. Sesi temubual bersama beberapa orang responden belia luar bandar telah dijalankan. Data dianalisis menggunakan kekerapan, peratusan, dan min skor. Dapatan menunjukkan bahawa golongan belia yang tidak menyambung pengajian majoritinya terdiri daripada lepasan SPM dan mempunyai latar belakang keluarga yang berpendapatan rendah. Namun, inisiatif yang diambil oleh belia yang tidak menyambung pengajian berada pada tahap yang tinggi (Min = 3.78). Impikasi daripada kajian ini ialah Institut Kemahiran Belia Negara boleh memperluaskan pengiktirafan kepada golongan belia berdasarkan pengalaman terdahulu (PPT) bagi mendapatkan Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia (SKM) dalam bidang-bidang tertentu contohnya pertanian, automotif dan katering.

However, the nation’s youth, especially those living in the rural areas; tend to be unaware of the importance of TVET in providing them a better future.As a consequence,youth was left behind in order to play a role as economic activator. Therefore, this study aims to identify the background and initiatives of rural youth who are not pursue their studies in academic or skills education. A survey using descriptive quantitative approach and supported by qualitative approach had been conducted at rural area. A survey study was distributed among 1600 rural youths and about 1259 had completed the questionnaire for the analysis. Data was analysed using frequency, percentage and mean score. Result indicates that rural youth that are not pursue their studies majority from after SPM and the background of their family are from low income.However, the initiatives that was taken by rural youth that are not pursue their studies are at higher level (mean = 3.78). The implication from this study is the National Youth Skills Institute can broaden the recognition to the youth based on previous experiences ( PPT ) for the Malaysian Skills Certificate in certain area for example agriculture, automotive and catering.
