Train the Trainers on CBT&A Methodology and Technical Skill Upgradation – NVQF Levels 5–7
Green TVET and Competency-Based Training & Assessment system development
Multi-sector TVET transformation project partnering with GIZ and WINS to modernize Pakistan's technical education through national trainer upskilling across Energy, Agribusiness, Construction, and Water sectors. The initiative embeds green skills, digitalisation, and gender equality across NVQF Levels 5-7, conducting sector-specific Training Needs Analyses, developing enriched training packages with OBE and CBT&A principles, and delivering hybrid Training of Trainers to 100 master trainers while establishing sustainable institutional coaching systems aligned with NAVTTC's Strategic Reform Plan.
Pakistan's TVET system faced critical challenges in meeting the demands of rapidly evolving labour markets, climate change adaptation, and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The country required urgent modernization of trainer competencies, integration of green skills and digital technologies, and systematic alignment with international standards for sustainable development. Existing training programmes lacked adequate integration of renewable energy, precision agriculture, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and advanced water management technologies. The National Vocational Qualifications Framework (NVQF) Levels 5-7 required comprehensive enhancement to address skills gaps in priority sectors while ensuring gender balance, diversity considerations, and alignment with Pakistan's national TVET strategies and international development commitments.
Lead comprehensive modernization of Pakistan's TVET system through design and implementation of national trainer upskilling programme across four priority sectors (Energy, Agribusiness, Construction, and Water), embedding green skills, digitalisation, and gender equality across NVQF Levels 5-7, conducting sector-specific Training Needs Analyses to inform curriculum enrichment with advanced technical content, developing transparent Trainer Selection Criteria Framework, overseeing creation of enriched training packages based on OBE and CBT&A principles, delivering hybrid Training of Trainers to 100 master trainers, and establishing institutional coaching systems while producing policy recommendations aligned with NAVTTC's Strategic Reform Plan and international development frameworks.
