Youth can play important role in boosting the national economy and growth of industry. TEVTA is starting three and six months duration short courses to ensure job opportunities for jobless youth. These courses are being offered with the recommendations of the industry. TEVTA is, now, devising the mechanism to involve all stake-holders for making policies and ensure their implementation to obtain the desired outcomes.
This was stated by Chairperson TEVTA Irfan Qaiser Shaikh while addressing on the occasion of certificates distribution ceremony at Rising Sun Institute for Special Children, Defence. President Abdul Tawab, Vice President Mehmood Ahmad, Colonel Saleem Raza Khan (Retd), teachers, special children and others were present on this occasion.
While addressing the participants of the ceremony, Irfan Qaiser Shaikh said that TEVTA will give representation to Rising Sun Institute for special children in its District Board of Management Lahore and shall also offer courses to special children as per their requirement. TEVTA has also contacted Chambers of Commerce and Industry and Industrial organisation across the province of the Punjab to get their recommendations and proposals to start news courses. We have met the delegations of Chamber of Commerce and Industry Lahore, Faisalabad and Rawalpindi as well as various industrial organisations. The purpose of these meetings was to get guidance from private sector to offer new courses and update/revise the existing curricula, on job training and ensure job opportunities to its pass-outs. The linkage of TEVTA with Industry will ultimately bridge the Skill Gap which will lead to a quantum leap in the exports of the country, by value addition and responding to technological shift in the manufacturing & facing the challenges of Globalisation.
Chairperson TEVTA further said that Industry urgently needs trained manpower. Some courses of TEVTA Institutes are not meeting the requirement of Industry and due to this reason it is not obtaining requisite skilled manpower. Most of the youth are unemployed so TEVTA is immediately introducing short courses from next month. At present, TEVTA is imparting 154 courses and 54 trades in its Institutes.
