LAHORE:

The Punjab Industries Department in partnership with the Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) would offer free-of-cost technical courses to students of government schools during the summer vacations.

Departments of Industries, School Education and Higher Education would collaborate to organise these courses in nine divisions of Punjab -- Bahawalpur, Lahore, Gujranwala, Multan, Rawalpindi, Sahiwal, Sargodha, Faisalabad and Sialkot.

The students would not be required to pay any fee for these courses, a TEVTA spokesman, Amanullah, said on Sunday.

He said these courses would cover a vast range of skills, including domestic electricity courses, heating and ventilation, plumbing, air-conditioning, tailoring, refrigeration, computer applications, beautician, cooking, safety inspection, kitchen gardening, embroidery, and offset printing.

To empower and equip the youth with a new focus on quality demand-driven skills, TEVTA had designed various technical courses to develop economic opportunities through entrepreneurship and job placements at the local and international market level, he added.
