A skilled worker in today’s world is much better than a university graduate with no skill and experience. However, no one can compete with a person who is both skilled and well-educated at the same time. In today’s job market, there is a need to produce more graduates who are skilled in different fields. To meet this need further, more institutes of technical education are required and those also in different parts of the country. There is also a dire need for these technical institutes to introduce new programs in culinary, hospitality, travel & tourism, aviation, and baking and patisserie fields. The authorities also need to understand that the more skilled people we produce, the more prosperous our country shall be.

The progress of a nation and a country depends on how skilled and knowledgeable people dwell therein. The introduction of skilled programs in traditional education system of a developing country like Pakistan will not only boost the country’s economy, cause reduction in unemployment and uplift the living standard of people but also attract foreign investors to invest in Pakistan.

Even in the developed world, skilled workforce is always needed to run the affairs of the countries. Countries like Germany, Canada, and UAE etc. always look for skilled workforce to meet their industrial and commercial needs. Pakistan should also develop a mechanism on national level to train our youth bulge to meet the requirements of the world in different technical areas. By doing so, not only individuals would make money but the country itself would also receive foreign remittances.

In short, job market today is in need of skilled labour. Producing skilled graduates is need of the hour to meet the industry demands. Government needs to focus more on technical education rather than sticking to the old and formal education system. Only this way, we can steer our youth to the path of progress.
