The National Vocational & Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) has conducted three research studies for the purpose of promoting women’s full and effective participation at all levels especially in skill sector, and providing maximum opportunities for employment to bring them in the mainstream economy.
The launching ceremony of these three research studies was inaugurated by Federal Minister for Professional Training and Education Shafqat Mehmood. The research studies were on the topics of “Participatory gender assessment of the NAVTTC and provincial TEVTAs,” “Organisational assessment of women TVET institutions” and “Analysis of job market opportunities for women in Sindh and Balochistan”
Chairman NAVTTC Syed Javed Hassan endorsed the recommendations of the study and ensured that the NAVTTC will take lead in implementation of recommendations of the study.
Skill building and training are very important and these studies will help us understand the areas in which we are lacking in addressing the gender gap in various fields. Technical education and vocational training can provide a pathway to country’s women to play their economic role by promoting domestic entrepreneurial activities.
Member National Assembly Andleeb Abbas, Parliamentary Secretary for Education Wajiha Akrma, Ambassador of European Union Jean Francois, Chairman NAVTTC Syed Javed Hassan, Executive Director NAVTTC Dr Nasir Khan, and representatives from public and private sector were present on the occasion.
