Words of Welcome
Globalisation generates new systems, struc-
tures and demands requiring new skills and
knowledge. Human resources are the most
important asset of enterprises in today’s
knowledge-driven global economy. Therefore,
the prospect of a country to ensure economic
growth and competitiveness strongly depends
on the level of human development and the
availability of a skilled workforce.
The Government of Pakistan acknowledges
this challenge and has consequently decided
to further strengthen Technical and Vocational
Education and Training (TVET) to meet the
demand of globalisation. The Government
therefore released the TVET Policy for Paki-
stan in March 2015, which sets out the com-
mitment to further invest in skill development.
The scale of the TVET reform will only be
possible with a greater involvement of the pri-
vate sector. The TVET Reform Support Pro-
gramme therefore developed a pilot scheme
in close collaboration with the public and pri-
vate stakeholders, in which enterprises, train-
ing institutes and TVET authorities share the
responsibility for vocational training. The Co-
operative Vocational Training (CVT) scheme
addresses the need for a demand-oriented
training by combining up-to-date lessons in
training institutions with on-the-job training in
enterprises.
This approach is based on the German Dual
system of training, but has been adapted to
the regulatory framework in Pakistan. Since
2013 the TVET Reform Support Programme
has supported the launch of 9 commercial and
technical CVT courses in Karachi and Lahore.
Currently, five training institutes and 86 enter-
prises are involved in the planning and deliv-
ery of the cooperative training, providing an
improved career path to more than 500 train-
ees.
During the study tour to Germany, the par-
ticipants from Pakistani TVET authorities,
training institutions and enterprises will get
acquainted with the essential elements of
the German Dual system of TVET and will
discuss the transferability of concepts to
Pakistan.
We would like to encourage the partici-
pants to use the input for further improving
the collaboration between the public and
the private sector, which take the joint re-
sponsibility for economic growth and so-
cial development in Pakistan. Further-
more, the study tour will support the par-
ticipants to take an active role as facilita-
tors for the TVET Reform Support Pro-
gramme, which is funded by the European
Union, the Embassy of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands, the Federal Republic of
Germany and the Royal Norwegian Em-
bassy.

Objectives and Background Information of the Pro-
gramme
Recognizing the critical role of skills de-
velopment, the Government of Pakistan is
committed to a major reform of its system
of technical and vocational education and
training (TVET). Since 2011, the TVET
Reform Support Programme assists the
Government of Pakistan in the implemen-
tation of its ambitious TVET sector reform.
To ensure labour-market orientation, a key
element of the programme is to give em-
ployers a central role in all aspects of
TVET planning and delivery.
The programme therefore supports the
introduction of cooperative vocational
training (CVT) in Pakistan, in which train-
ing institutes and enterprises share the
responsibility for implementing vocational
education. The approach of the pro-
gramme component “Cooperative Training
and Green Skills” is based on the German
Dual Training System and has been modi-
fied to match Pakistan’s needs for a skilled
workforce.
Within this framework, the present study
tour offers you direct insight into the Ger-
man TVET system. Discussions and ex-
change of experiences with German ex-
perts will offer you impulses for designing,
structuring and sustainably implementing
a cooperative vocational education in Pa-
kistan.
The main objectives of the study tour are:
Participants are familiar with essen-
tial elements of the German dual
system of TVET
Participants are aware of the links
between cooperative vocational
training and employment
Participants have discussed as-
pects of transferability to support
the establishment of a cooperative
vocational training scheme in Paki-
stan
A central feature of the study tour will be
active participation. Learning through in-
teraction with others offers the opportunity
for gathering direct experience as well as
recognising that there is more than one
way to overcome challenges.
We wish you a pleasant and fruitful time in
Germany. We hope you will enjoy the
change of perspective, gain useful
knowledge and competences and develop
new ideas to support the TVET reform in
Pakistan. We would like to encourage you
to participate actively in our programme
and benefit from the intensive exchange of
information and the experience of all per-
sons and institutions involved.

The Training Centre (BiA) of Mannheim Chamber of Crafts is a compe-
tent partner of craft enterprises in all areas of education and training.
They provide courses to about 13,000 member companies with about
85,000 employees and more than 5,000 trainees. The future-oriented
offer is geared to the current needs of the market and the needs of
customers.
BiA provides those parts of a trainees' training in the construction and
non-construction that their company cannot. In addition, the apprentic-
es are familiarized with the requirements of the respective trades and
learn how to use the latest technologies. Inter-company vocational
training also serves a pedagogical function as a “third learning envi-
ronment” where practical and theoretical competence is systematically
taught. The duration of inter-company vocational training depends on
what the training company is not able to teach its trainee. The enter-
prises, chambers, guilds and the German government bear the cost of
inter-company vocational training. Furthermore the centre offers train-
ing courses to prepare for the master craftsman's examination as well
as a broad range of continuing full- or part-time courses and pro-
grammes, allowing the adaptation to developments and changes in the
craft sector.
The chamber is an institution financed by crafts companies; statutory
membership and fees enable it to represent the general interests of
craftsmanship. The chamber provides advice on locational, tax and
13. 12
economic problems. It acts as an expert, for example, if trade customs
need to be established or public loans granted. As a company under
public law, the chamber executes the tasks entrusted to it on its own
responsibility. It contacts government and public authorities, parlia-
ments and courts. A dialogue that is beneficial for both sides; the state
benefits from its economic competence and it reinforces the region's
economic strength.
