In today’s vocational education, preparing prospective vocational teachers requires developing innovative, creative thinking that strengthens pedagogical competence and classroom management. These abilities help address the complexity of modern vocational classes and support a positive, engaging learning environment. This study examines how prospective vocational teachers manage ICT-based learning resources to encourage creativity and innovation in their professional practice. A quantitative approach was applied with 178 participants, evenly assigned to a control group and an experimental group. The experimental group used ICT-based learning tools, including interactive multimedia and various digital technologies. Results showed that participants who effectively used ICT resources achieved higher levels of creative and innovative thinking. The experimental group’s N-Gain score reached 0.756, compared with only 0.049 in the control group. This significant difference strongly suggests that appropriate use and management of ICT learning resources can help future vocational teachers create more productive classroom conditions and strengthen their entrepreneurial abilities. The notable learning gains also demonstrate that ICT-based multimedia improves instructional effectiveness compared with traditional methods. Overall, the findings clearly highlight that future TVET educators who master digital learning resources will be better prepared for teaching demands and the challenges of contemporary TVET.
