National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) has started accreditation of Pakistan’s finest TVET institutes with International institutes aiming to enable Pakistani trainees to access jobs globally and increase foreign remittances.
NAVTTC, in that regard, had conducted five days long online meeting with UK Government Accredited Agency for reviewing quality and performance of five TVET institutes from all over Pakistan to attain international acceptance, recognition and global competitiveness, a press release on Thursday said.
On this occasion, Executive Director NAVTTC, Dr Nasir Khan said, “In Keeping with the vision of Prime Minister Imran Khan as envisaged in “Hunarmand Pakistan” project, an important part of “Kamyab Jawan” programme, NAVTTC has formally launched the game changing, landmark initiative of international accreditation of its selected institutes through a rigorous process of reforms and qualitative improvement by joining hands with UKNARIC, a world-renowned accrediting agency of the United Kingdom with collaboration by the British Council”.
“This initiative would change the TVET landscape in Pakistan by bringing it at par with international standards which would enhance employability of our youth in the international market thus increasing the image of Pakistani skilled workers worldwide and giving huge boost in foreign remittances”, Dr Khan added.
Through this guided process of quality checks and assurance and quality improvements, the institutes will attain international accreditation, paving the way for Pakistan’s exportable workforce to claim their fair share in the world’s employment market on competitive wages, and thereby contribute significantly in the socio-economic development of the country.
