Abstract: This study addresses the challenges of vocational training for Middle-aged, Elderly, and Low-educated Individuals (MELI) in hazardous materials transport. We developed an entertainment-based learning approach using TikTok-style short videos to engage this demographic. A customized training app was created, and over 300 videos were developed for a six-month program with 500+ participants. Using a TPB-TAM integrated framework, we analyzed 333 responses with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Key findings include: Behavioral attitude (BA) has a significant impact on behavioral intentions (BI); Subjective norms (SN) significantly influence BI through perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU); PEOU significantly influences BI through BA and PU; and PU not only directly influences BI but also significantly impacts BI through BA. This study provides design guidelines for adapting social media formats to vocational training and enhancing engagement for underserved populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
