Duration: 6 Months
Course Details / Description & Preliminaries
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
Page 1
weaknesses of each individual trainee to prepare them for such market
roles during/after the training.
i. Specially designed practical tasks to be performed by the
trainees have been included in the Annexure-I to this
Key Features of document. The record of all tasks performed individually or in
Training& Special
groups must be preserved by the management of the training
Modules
Institute clearly labeling name, trade, session etc so that
these are ready to be physically inspected/verified through
monitoring visits from time to time. The weekly distribution of
tasks has also been indicated in the weekly lesson plan
given in this document.
ii. In order to materialize the main expectations, a special
module on Job Search & Entrepreneurial Skills has been
included in the later part of this course (5th & 6th month)
through which, the trainees will be made aware of the Job
search techniques in the local as well as international job
markets (Gulf countries). Awareness around the visa process
and immigration laws of the most favored labor destination
countries also forms a part of this module. Moreover, the
trainees would also be encouraged to venture into self-
employment and exposed to the main requirements in this
regard. It is also expected that a sense of civic duties/roles
and responsibilities will also be inculcated in the trainees to
make them responsible citizens of the country.
iii. A module on Work Place Ethics has also been included to
highlight the importance of good and positive behavior at
work place in the line with the best practices elsewhere in the
world. An outline of such qualities has been given in the
Appendix to this document. Its importance should be
conveyed in a format that is attractive and interesting for the
trainees such as through PPT slides +short video
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.
Training Tools/ Lastly, evaluation of the competencies acquired by the trainees will be
Methodology 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.

iii. Field visits( At least one visit to a trade specific major
industry/ site must be arranged by the training institute)
Learning Outcome of By the end of the course the trainees will be able to have following
the Course competencies and skills.
