ISLAMABAD: The National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) has imparted skill development training to more than 250,000 youths since its establishment.
Presently, the NAVTTC has initiated six month free of cost technical and professional training programme, through which 50,000 youths will be given skill development training in demand driven courses, an official of the NAVTTC said here on Tuesday.
Annually, a total of 100,000 youths are being trained under the governments’ youth skill development programme, he remarked. He said that technical training was being provided to the youth in more than fifty market oriented trades so that the youth can be deployed in different sectors. To meet the demand of professionals in China-Pakistan Economical Corridor (CPEC), the NAVTTC has initiated many technical courses including operating of heavy machinery, construction and electrical, etc. NAVTTC has closed the training programmes in more than seventy trades, which were not demand driven, he added.
