Karachi: First Lady Begum Samina Alvi has lauded China for supporting vocational training institutes in Pakistan.

Chairing a follow-up meeting on the provision of vocational training facilities, she stressed that a mechanism needed to be devised to extend vocational training and various skills to those who had no resources to do on their own.

“The vocational training facilities create opportunities for employment and contribute to the national economy,” she added, mentioning China’s support in this regard.

Recently, the China-funded project of Technical and Vocational Training Institute Gwadar (TVTI) was completed at a cost of Rs 2.2 billion. The world-class technical and vocational institute has been set up on six acres and has a capacity of 360 students.

After one year of technical training at the institute, students would be referred to Shah Dong Institute of Commerce and Technology in China for a one year diploma. Students from Gwadar and adjoining areas will be able to benefit from the technical training institute.

Begum Samina Alvi also urged on gathering data on trained individuals who needed jobs and ensuring job opportunities for trained people.
