 Course Title PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC
CONTROLLER (PLC)
Objectives and Employable skills for DAE in Electrical / Electronics through an intensive
Expectations
course on Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)

This is a special course designed to address unemployment in the youth. The

course aims to achieve the above objective through hands on practical
training delivery by a team of dedicated professionals having rich
market/work experience. This course is therefore not just for developing a
theoretical understanding/back ground of the trainees. Contrary to that it is
primarily aimed at equipping the trainees to perform commercially in a market
space in independent capacity or as a member of a team.

The course therefore is designed to impart not only technical skills but also
soft skills (i.e interpersonal/communication skills; personal grooming of the
trainees etc) as well as entrepreneurial skills (i.e marketing skills; free lancing
etc). The course also seeks to inculcate work ethics to foster better
citizenship in general and improve the image of Pakistani work force in
particular.
Main Expectations:
In short, the course under reference should be delivered by professional
instructors in such a robust hands- on manner that the trainees are
comfortably able to employ their skills for earning money (through wage/self-
employment) at its conclusion.
This course thus clearly goes beyond the domain of the traditional training
practices in vogue and underscores an expectation that a market centric
approach will be adopted as the main driving force while delivering it. The
instructors should therefore be experienced enough to be able to identify the
training needs for the possible market roles available out there. Moreover,
they should also know the strengths and

FVTLM002
Page 2
 documentaries. Needless to say that if the training provider puts
his heart and soul into these otherwise non-technical components,
the image of Pakistani workforce would undergo a positive
transformation in the local as well as international job markets.

In order to maintain interest and motivation of the trainees throughout the

course, modern techniques such as:
• Motivational Lecture

• Success Stories
• Case Studies
These techniques would be employed as an additional training tool wherever
possible (these are explained in the subsequent section on Training
Methodology).
Lastly, evaluation of the competencies acquired by the trainees will be done
objectively at various stages of the training and proper record of the same will
be maintained. Suffice to say that for such evaluations, practical tasks would
be designed by the training providers to gauge the problem solving abilities of
the trainees.
Training Tools/
Methodology
(i) Motivational Lectures

The proposed methodology for the training under reference employs

motivation as a tool. Hence besides the purely technical content, a trainer is
required to include elements of motivation in his/her lecture to inspire the
trainees to utilize the training opportunity to the full and strive towards
professional excellence. Motivational lectures may also include general topics
such as the importance of moral values and civic role & responsibilities as a
Pakistani. A motivational lecture should be delivered with enough zeal to
produce a deep impact on the trainees. It may comprise of the following:

• Clear Purpose to convey message to trainees effectively.

• Personal Story to quote as an example to follow.

FVTLM002
Page 3
 Trainees Fit so that the situation is actionable by trainees and not
represent a just idealism. Ending Points to persuade the trainees on
changing themselves.

A good motivational lecture should help drive creativity, curiosity and spark
the desire needed for trainees to want to learn more.
Impact of a successful motivational strategy is amongst others commonly
visible in increased class participation ratios. It increases the trainees’
willingness to be engaged on the practical tasks for longer time without
boredom and loss of interest because they can clearly see in their mind's eye
where their hard work would take them in short (1-3 years); medium (3 -10
years) and long term (more than 10 years).

As this tool is expected that the training providers would make arrangements
for regular well planned motivational lectures as part of a coordinated strategy
interspersed throughout the training period as suggested in the weekly lesson
plans in this document.

(ii) Success Stories

Another effective way of motivating the trainees is by means of Success

Stories. Its inclusion in the weekly lesson plan at regular intervals has been
recommended till the end of the training.
A success story may be disseminated orally, through a presentation or by
means of a video/documentary of someone that has risen to fortune, acclaim,
or brilliant achievement. A success story shows how a person achieved his
goal through hard work, dedication and devotion. An inspiring success story
contains compelling and significant facts articulated clearly and easily
comprehendible words. Moreover, it is helpful if it is assumed that the
reader/listener knows nothing of what is being revealed. Optimum impact is
created when the story is revealed in the form of:-
Directly in person (At least 2-3 cases must be arranged by the
training institute)

FVTLM002
Page 4
 Through an audio/ videotaped message (2-3 high quality videos must
be arranged by the training institute)
It is expected that the training provider would collect relevant high quality
success stories for inclusion in the training as suggested in the weekly lesson
plan given in this document.
Suggestive structure and sequence of a sample success story and its various
shapes can be seen at annexure III.

(iii) Case Studies

Where a situation allows, case studies can also be presented to the trainees
to widen their understanding of the real life specific problem/situation and to
explore the solutions.
In simple terms, the case study method of teaching uses a real life case
example/a typical case to demonstrate a phenomenon in action and explain
theoretical as well as practical aspects of the knowledge related to the same.
It is an effective way to help the trainees comprehend in depth both the
theoretical and practical aspects of the complex phenomenon in depth with
ease. Case teaching can also stimulate the trainees to participate in
discussions and thereby boost their confidence. It also makes class room
atmosphere interesting thus maintaining the trainee interest in training till the
end of the course. Depending on suitability to the trade, the weekly lesson
plan in this document may suggest case studies to be presented to the
trainees. The trainer may adopt a power point presentation or video format for
such case studies whichever is deemed suitable but it’s important that only
those cases are selected that are relevant and of a learning value. The
Trainees should be required and supervised to carefully analyze the cases.
For the purpose they must be encouraged to inquire and collect specific
information / data, actively participate in the discussions and intended
solutions of the problem / situation.

Case studies can be implemented in the following ways: -

FVTLM002
Page 5
 i. A good quality trade specific documentary ( At least 2-3
documentaries must be arranged by the training institute)
ii. Health &Safety case studies (2 cases regarding safety and
industrial accidents must be arranged by the training institute)
iii. Field visits( At least one visit to a trade specific major
industry/ site must be arranged by the training institute)
