The National Industrial Park Development and Management Company is working on an industrial park to back the auto industry and will launch it in March 2008, it emerged on Tuesday. "The proposed 'auto cluster' project site is located in Lahore, having 170 acres of land," said company Director Mohsin Syed.
The Ministry of Industries, Production and Special Initiatives has appointed Mohsin's company. Mohsin told a meeting that his company would set up a comprehensive technical programme to train people under a crash programme through mobile training centres in three major areas, including automobile, mechanical and construction. The three areas will cover 23 different sectors - from mechanical (petrol) to appliance repairs and motor winding.
Tevta will provide the training course. Tevta has already trained 70,000 students in different posts in the Punjab and had them employed in different technical positions in industrial organisations. The training aims at creating jobs for the unemployed with the production being expected to begin in the third quarter of June 2009.
