In order to transform the massive population of youngsters, primarily between the ages of 16 to 30 years into an engine of growth for Punjab. THE GOVERNMENT OF PUNJAB has initiated a landmark Program for skill empowerment of the youth named HUNARMAND NOJAWAN.
This Program aims to provide quality demand driven skills to an additional 100,000 students annually at TEVTA institutes across Punjab. With a budget of PKR 1500 Million, the Chief Minister has ensuerd free of cost trainings for all. Through its 56 New Courses including, Virtual Assistants for Amazon, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, the program envisages to empower our youth with economic opportunities in line with the Prime Minister's vision for creating 10 million jobs.
OUR STORY
Technical Educational and Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) was established in 1999 through an Ordinance [XXIV of 1999] that merged training institutes from seven different departments of the Government of Punjab.
As a special institution, TEVTA was strengthened through an Act in 2010.
Pakistan, with a strong presence in every tehsil & district of Punjab, is imparting technical and vocational trainings in different sectors of the economy. It has imparted skills to millions of students across Punjab over the previous decades. However, the focus was more on quantity and less on quality with a visible disconnect with the Industry.
According to the visions of the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the directions from the Chief Minister Punjab and under the guidance of the Minister of Industries Punjab, we have initiated a strategy to restructure & reorganize the existing TVET system of Punjab at par with the International standards.
We believe that the new reforms and interventions under out TEVTA Vision 2023 will not only enhance the quality standards of the students but also enable them to secure economic opportunities at local and international level through our New Skill Ecosystem.
GAPS & INTERVENTIONS
The new TEVTA management in its initial 100 days has collaborated with its relevant contributors, including NAVTTC, World Bank, Asian Development Bank & TVET Sector Support Programme (TVET SSP) funded by the European Union and the Norwegian & German governments to identify the critical gaps in its existing TVET system & initiated several Interventions in just 100 days to bring a paradigm shift from its Conventional System to a Modern Skill Ecosystem.
