Although some progress has been made in
the basic education sector in Pakistan, currently, less than
1 percent of the population aged 10 years and above is
trained in occupational skills. This situation could be
improved through an identification of employment
opportunities, a provision of appropriate training,
promotion of effective employment policy from the
government, and a stronger linkage between those who are
trained and a labor market. In order to identify what, when
and where training and skills are needed and how skills are
imparted, this paper analyses the results of the employer
survey conducted in November 2009 towards 1,000 selected
enterprises. The results of the survey will provide various
benchmarks which can be used over time to: measure how Sindh
Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority
(STEVTA) and Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Youth Development
Program (BBSYDP) can improve existing program outcomes, and
to monitor changes in labor market demand so that STEVTA and
BBSYDP can shift resources appropriately. Authors conclude
this paper with eight findings and recommendations: 1)
rising demand for skills indicates the need for skills
program, 2) need for training of specific skills such as
on-the-job training and communication skills, 3) need for
specific trainings for occupations demanded, 4) improved
employment prospects, 5) trainees' need for direct
contacts to firms and preparation for interviews, 6) need
for an increase in visibility of BBSYDP, 7) need for a
reform in public institutions, and 8) current focus of
firm's internal trainings on educated and skilled employees. |
