Life Skills Training
PVTC requires all trainees to participate in a life skills course. Training topics include communication
skills, inter-personal skills, critical thinking skills, managing conflict at the workplace, time-management,
workplace etiquettes and promoting peace & tolerance.

Entrepreneurship Training
In addition to vocational and life skills training, all PVTC trainees participate in entrepreneurship and
business planning training to ensure that those who do not gain employment can also develop the skills
they require to establish a small business/enterprise as a means of improving their livelihoods. PVTC’s
Life Skills and Entrepreneurship modules introduce trainees to the opportunities and challenges of
entrepreneurship and self-employment, and their role in shaping their future. More specifically, the
modules teach trainees to develop small business plans, manage finances, conduct market surveys, and
access loans through microfinance institutions located in Punjab.

and microfinance institutions. To this end, PVTC collaborates with the following entities:-

On-the-Job Training and Job Placement
PVTC’s VTIs are managed by autonomous District Boards of Management (DBOMs), which have strong
linkages with the local industrial, agricultural, health, and service sectors. In collaboration with several
government, non-profit, and private sector partners, PVTC's DBOMs also link trainees to employment
and mandatory two month on-the-job training opportunities.

Public and Private Sector Participation

PVTC, its District Boards of Management (local entrepreneurs working on a voluntary basis), and VTls
have each placed particular emphasis on engaging critical partners from both the private sector and
officials charged with overseeing the use of Zakat contributions. A participatory approach has in turn
helped to ensure that critical stakeholders from both sectors are represented in VTI planning. It has also
helped to ensure VTls are closely connected to the economic and social needs of local communities,
increasing demand for their services and improving job placement prospects with local industry.

Curriculum Development
Keeping in view the latest trends based on market demands through TNA and after conducting
demographics survey at tehsil level, PVTC has developed curricula for 62 various trades to cater for the
growing demands of industrial, agriculture, health and service sectors. Life Skills and Entrepreneurship
course is compulsory for each trainee.
PVTC is the pioneer organization in Pakistan who has developed Teaching Learning Materials (TLMs) like
trainee manuals, lesson plans, and assessment material to deliver the quality vocational training to the
underprivileged youth of Punjab. These TLMs are regularly revised and upgraded in the light of
feedback received from the industry and institutes every year.
PVTC believes in competency based training (CBT) approach. One machine to one trainee policy is
followed in almost all the courses. The theory to practical ratio is 20:80 and internship is mandatory for
each trainee. PVTC has established very well equipped labs keeping in view the latest trends and
technological requirements of the industry. PVTC has developed 17 Competency Based Curricula in
collaboration with GIZ/GFA and NAVTTC.

Staff & Teachers Training Institute

Teacher training at PVTC begins with an orientation of PVTC/VTI to acquaint the teacher to the work
culture. The teachers are also required to go through regular pedagogical and skills up-gradation
training programs every year. On an average over 60% of the entire staff goes through an aggressive
training program. STTI also provides managerial training to PVTC and VTIs staff members.

Linkages with Industry & DBOMs

Since the PVTC Council Members mostly belong to the private sector and prominent people from local
industry are made part of District Boards of Management (DBOMs) to arrange internship and enhance
employability. PVTC’s VTIs are managed by autonomous District Boards of Management (DBOMs),
which have strong linkages with the local industrial, agricultural, health, and service sectors. In
collaboration with several government, non-profit, and private sector partners, PVTC's DBOMs also link
trainees to employment and mandatory two month on-the-job training opportunities.
