1 | P a g e INTRODUCTION As digitalization, automation, and robotization continue to advance, businesses must proactively anticipate evolving consumer values, trends, and needs. This necessitates the ongoing adjustment of production processes and the continuous adaptation of competencies and competence-based models to keep pace with these changes (Škrinjarić, 2022). In term of relevance in curriculum in TVET, the acquiring lifelong skills is no longer viable in today's rapidly evolving landscape. With the increasing complexity and rapid technological advancements in the workplace, there is a pressing need for competencies that can adapt to unforeseen and ever-changing requirements. Consequently, relying solely on the analysis of current workplace competencies as the foundation for curriculum design and training programs is no longer sufficient. Instead, a paradigm shift is necessary to embrace a new approach (Loose & Becker, 2021). It is necessary to delve into the work process and perform a "work-process analysis" to identify all the competencies needed within the broader work procedure. The curriculum needs to align with the current and future work requirements of a particular occupation or field of activity. Therefore, the focus of the curriculum is always on the actual work content rather than the specialized knowledge derived from scientific systems. Consequently, vocational training primarily centers around the practical tasks and responsibilities of the occupation, rather than the specialized scientific theories behind the technology used in that field, (Tūtlys & Spöttl, 2017). The dynamic shifts in contemporary society are bringing about changes in professional art education within the design field. The emergence of objective-spatial environments and the need to harmonize them with the surrounding context impose new requirements on the quality of training for aspiring designers. This training aims to foster creative thinking and proficiency in the technology and form-making techniques necessary for designing objective-spatial environments. In light of this, the primary focus in the education of future designers should be on cultivating students' general cultural and professional competencies. These competencies are essential for engaging in artistic, creative, and research activities within the design field, (Budkeev et al., 2016). Designers must possess not only individual cognitive abilities and technical skills for executing the design process but also a range of other skills. In addition to professional design skills and knowledge, industrial designers should also possess general competencies, a collaborative spirit, and a personality that embraces challenges, (Yang et al., 2005).

4 | P a g e CORE WORK PROCESS The core work process in research and inspiration involves with gathering information, conducting research, and seeking inspiration to understand the problem or project requirements. It includes market research, trend analysis, studying user needs, and exploring creative sources for inspiration. Then, in term of design development and execution, the design gathered insights and ideas are translated into tangible design concepts. It includes sketching, prototyping, creating digital renderings, and refining the design based on feedback and iteration. Designers work closely with stakeholders to ensure the design meets functional, aesthetic, and practical requirements. Final stage on production and implementation, once the design is finalized, the focus shifts to production and implementation. This phase involves translating the design into a physical product or a functional solution. It includes selecting materials, coordinating with manufacturers or suppliers, managing production timelines, and ensuring quality control. Designers collaborate with production teams, engineers, and other stakeholders to ensure smooth execution of the design. Throughout the core work process, there is a continuous feedback loop, with each phase informing and influencing with the others.
