Introduction
Todays ‘World of Work’ has undergone radical changes. The emergence of new
technologies, global markets for products and services, and international competition require
economies to upgrade and enhance the skill level of their human resources. Technical and
Vocational Education and Training (TVET) systems all over the world are constantly
challenged by this question that how to respond the demand of a knowledge-based
economy. As TVET systems and their training programmes directly relate to the world of
work in terms of quantity and quality output, the approach of TVET programmes need to
focus on the acquisition of technical and non-technical skills, also referred to employability
skills.
The Civil Draftsman course has been designed for architecture and construction industries.
This course is for those learners who want to start their career in architecture industry.
Those workers who are already working in construction or architecture industry can benefit
from this course by improving their skills. In this course drafting skills regarding architecture
and construction field has been covered with an emphasis on gaining competencies required
to perform the job as a Draftsperson.

Overall objective of course

The course is developed on the philosophy of competency-based training which
enables a learner to acquire competencies required to perform his/her job efficiently.
However, the course has the following objectives:
 Develop skills of architecture drafting to new entrants in the industry.
 Improve skills of those who are already working in the industry.
 Eradicate unemployment from the country by providing them skills and
competencies.
