ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Instead of following old practices of taking examination in an outdated and conventional manner, National Vocational & Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) has introduced a new skill assessment system at par with the international standards.
It was decided in an important video conference held here under the chairmanship of the Executive Director NAVTTC, Zulfiqar Ahmad Cheema, in which many high level officials participated from Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar and Quetta, said a news release here on Tuesday.
It was said that ninety percent of exam would be based on practical test and ten percent would be based on interview. Out of three assessors, two would be industrial experts.
Under the new assessment system, skills of the trainees would be fine tuned and the quality of their training would be enhanced.
Moreover, NAVTTC’s certificate would be the key to employment for our trained at both the domestic and international market. Representatives of Pakistan’s chambers of commerce & industry and industrial sector have praised this new system devised by NAVTTC.
We have received very positive feedback from the previously held skill competitions and more young girls and boys are attracted to skill sector, said the Executive Director.
NAVTTC is going to hold skill competitions at zonal level throughout the country in which around 25,000 trainees under Prime Minister’s Youth Skill Development Phase-III, batch-1 would display their skills in various trades which would not only increase their enthusiasm but also enhance their skills.
Position holders of each trade would be awarded with cashed prizes and certificates.
