21.4 million people in Pakistan do not know if they will have food each day largely due to a lack of adequate job skills. The country has an opportunity with over 50 million youth aged 17-35, but 40 million of them need skills training today to become productive members of society rather than a liability. This document outlines the vision for the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector in Pakistan through establishing 30 centers of excellence that provide internationally recognized certification to help address unemployment and poverty. So far, four centers have been established with several more under construction or in the planning phases.

2. 21.4 million people in Pakistan
get up every morning not knowing
whether they will get anything to eat

3. Largely this is due to the fact that
they don’t have an ‘effective
breadwinner’

4. And
to be a good breadwinner, you need to
be ‘adequately skilled’
To be Matriculate or Intermediate
is simply ‘not enough’

5. WE HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY
•One of the youngest populations in the world
•Over 50 million between 17 - 35 years

6. Assuming 10 million graduates /
technicians, we are still left with
40 million that need to be
skilled today
Will they be an Asset or
Liability?

thought behind
