Chairman Technical Education & Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) Ali Salman Siddique has said that the Authority was being steered forward under a new vision which calls for quality of technical education and job placement to go hand-in-hand.
He was addressing the newly admitted students of Diploma of Associate Engineering at Government College of Technology (GCT) here on Monday. Amongst others, the ceremony was also attended by TEVTA COO Akhter Abbas Bharwana, JAICA representative Kakisu, teachers and TEVTA officers.
Ali Salman stated that a General Manager (Placement) was being appointed at TEVTA secretariat for ensuring the provision of jobs to the trained workforce of TEVTA upon completion of their courses. In addition, an international desk was also being set up for ensuring opportunities for TEVTA trained workforce both locally and abroad, he added.
The TEVTA Chairman said that the international desk will take stock of the available job opportunities on foreign soils and the skill sets required in different countries so that TEVTA could remodel courses, accordingly, and develop the trainees equipped with skills required in a particular country. "This workforce will also be provided with an opportunity to learn the language required in a particular country, such as English, Japanese, German, Turkish and so on so forth," he added.
According to him, strong linkages are being developed with local industries and entrepreneurs as well so as to design courses in accordance with their requirements. Provision of jobs to trainees having undergone such demand-driven courses would ensure jobs for TEVTA trained skill-force.
Earlier, the TEVTA Chairman was received by Zonal Manager (Central), Mustafa Kamal Pasha, Principal GCT Tariq Mahmood and other faculty members. The Chairman planted a 'Sukh Chain' sapling in the Architecture Block.
