TEVTA tailors courses to suit industries
He added that the CPEC project would not only make Pakistan’s economy strong, but also provide employment opportunities to thousands, especially the youth. “In order to understand the exact needs of the CPEC industry, TEVTA set up a stall at the road show held in China a few months ago. It has also established strong linkage and relationships with the Chinese industries.”
