This investigation was carried out to identify and assess the appropriate social skills and social value elements of the dual system apprenticeship program by applying the Modified Nominal Group Technique. These elements will be taken into account in the development of the social skills and social value competence model for the dual system apprenticeship program that will be used as the primary reference for skills instructors. The formation of these elements is based on the panel of experts’ views and consensus. A total of 13 experts who were directly involved with the dual system apprenticeship program were identified. The Modified Nominal Group Technique data analysis was determined based on the score given by all of the panel of experts’ votes, which were converted into percentages and compared with the terms set. The experts’ agreement determined the final elements of social skills and social values. The voting process in the Modified Nominal Group Technique session was not intended to eliminate or abolish any element that had been mutually agreed upon by the experts. Instead, the voting process was aimed at determining the priorities of each of the elements according to the preference of each expert, that was based on individual scale interpretation. The Modified Nominal Technique group contains five stages that need to be observed: research briefings, idea generation, sharing and discussing ideas. The best idea went through a voting process and the research findings were presented. The elements that were formed had a great implication on the construction of the model. Therefore, the findings of this study will be the most important source of reference in constructing the social skills competency model for the dual system apprenticeship program.
