The economies all over the world are changing into knowledge based economies. The changing face of technology requires an individual to be specialized in a particular skill. Only a person who is an expert in a particular field can get good employment opportunities. Vocational education training institutes impart specialized and practical knowledge to a person and help them become independent at a particular task.
This newly opened vocational centre employs a team of trainers and staff, among who are Miss Afshan Bano – Training Coordinator/ Consultant, Miss Tasneem Khan – Trainer and Miss Gulshan – Trainer.
M&JS Foundation has the history of supporting skill development initiatives in urban and rural areas as part of its constant initiative to improve the level of education in Pakistan.
