The Secretary told the participants that the department had taken several steps to align the TVET sector with local and international job markets, with a strong focus on getting trainees placed in jobs.

The Chief Executive Officer of PSDF Ahmed Khan also briefed the guests on the Fund's role in providing skills training across the province.

During their stay, the delegation was scheduled to visit a number of leading training institutions in Punjab, meet the heads of the province's main skills organizations, and observe training being delivered to different groups including IT professionals and trainees from a range of backgrounds.

Officials said the exposure visit reflected a healthy spirit of learning and cooperation between the two provinces, aimed at strengthening the skills sector and creating better job opportunities for young people across Pakistan.
