Role of Technical Education and Vocational Training in Promoting Youth Employment: A Case study of TEVT Institutes in District Gujranwala

Abstract

The purpose of this study was assessing the role of Technical Education and Vocational Training in promoting Youth employment. The study sample comprised of 20 staff members and 160 passed out trainees (both male and female) of four TEVT institutes of District Gujranwala. Systematic random sampling was used to take sample. Quantitative research approach was used to gather information from respondents. To collect data two different interview schedules were designed, first for the passed out trainees and other for the staff members. Study findings clearly demonstrated that Technical Education and Vocational Training had played a dynamic role in income generating activities for youth and increasing the employment rate. It was found that majority of passed out trainees were obtaining money by utilizing their vocational skills. By providing economic opportunities for youth, overall progress of the country can also be guaranteed. So, it is recommended to launch awareness campaigns for the grass-root acceptance of vocational and skill training. It is also needed to motivate families to send their children in vocational training institutes to learn skills. Financial assistance through soft loans/micro credit schemes, by government and NGOs should be given to skilled youth to encourage them to be self-employed.
