BISP and Navtec will sign a MoU regarding the technical and vocational education of youth belonging to poor and needy families. First phase of joint-programme would be launched in 18 districts, which would be financed by the BISP out of its budget to support deserving families.
According to the MOU, Navtec will undertake to train these youth in various technical & vocational fields so that they can get employment. Navtec will also monitor and evaluate the programme when it is in operation. It would also ensure that it would not overlap with other training programmes being run by them under President's Funni Maharat Programme and Prime Minister Hunarmand Pakistan Programme in different parts of the country imparting technical and vocational training to thousands of youth.
Navtec has successfully trained over a 100,000 youth in different trades in collaboration with public and private institutions. Navtec partnership with the military institutes has been a tremendous success in delivering high quality training during the last 2 years.
In a meeting between Farzana Raja, Chairperson BISP and Adnan A Khawaja, Chairman Navtec it was decided that gender equality would be kept in imparting these training programmes which would help them in finding gainful employment. This was resolved that one individual from each family registered with BISP, would be selected to undertake technical and vocational training.-PR
