This document consists of a policy statement, implementation plan and supporting annexes, which consider and discuss aspects of the TVET Policy in Pakistan which aims to:

- Secure a national commitment to the importance of skills development to achieve sustained economic growth, to increase productivity and to provide opportunities for people to contribute to the economy and to their communities, particularly the country’s growing youthful population;
- Increase the number and quality of training opportunities so that in the short-term at least one million will be trained each year. By 2025, the objective is to train 20 percent of all school-leavers, in addition to up-skilling and re-skilling existing workers. Such expansion will not be achieved by the public sector alone and the active engagement of the private sector will be required;
- Introduce a national standards-based qualification, assessment and certification system;
- Design and deliver competence-based education and training programmes that concentrate on the skills required to perform jobs;
- Forge new partnerships between the public and private sectors and to encourage employers to train more directly and to contribute to the reform of public TVET provision;
- Maintain and expand the export of labour by encouraging people to obtain internationally recognised qualifications;
- Encourage linkages with the informal sector of the economy by providing people with opportunities to gain formal qualifications;
- Continue the reform and revitalisation of the public TVET sector.
