Reasons Behind a Career Change Through Vocational Education and Training

Abstract

Current changes in the education system and increased competition for employment have pressurized the government to produce major skills among the youth to make them employable. Moreover, technical and vocational education (TVE) worldwide is being used to resolve the problems of unemployment, poverty, and increased competition in the international labor market. Also, technical and vocational education is called career and technical education (CTE), which enables students to get a professional job without graduating or acquiring any other professional degree. Furthermore, it is an education that provides a hands-on experience that helps individuals to get a desirable job easily in the future. This chapter highlights how Pakistan has developed TVE and has taken several initiatives like TEVTA and NAVTTC (National Vocational and Technical Training Commission), which are taken for providing skills to the local people for their better career building. The data is collected from several official government websites of Pakistan which are mentioned further in the chapter and also provided on the reference page. Also, the study supports different previous research articles. To empower women and adolescent girls, TVE has been considered an important factor. So, it is important in every country to include both general training and vocational education for the growth of society.
