Training initiatives in AI, construction, agriculture, and hospitality aim to equip Pakistani youth with globally competitive skills under CPTICE

Pakistan and China have formally agreed to initiate comprehensive joint training programs in artificial intelligence, construction engineering, agriculture, and hospitality management as part of the second phase of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). The agreements were reached during a high-level visit from July 6 to 12, 2025, by Gulmina Bilal Ahmad, Chairperson of NAVTTC and Pakistan-side Co-Chair of the China-Pakistan TVET Industrial Centre of Excellence (CPTICE) (Dawn).

During the mission, Pakistani delegates held strategic working sessions at Pakistan’s embassy in Beijing, collaborating with entities such as CIIC and Tang International Education Group. They agreed to jointly develop curricula, link vocational institutes with industry partners, and launch hands-on training initiatives tailored to Pakistan’s evolving labor demands.

Key outcomes include signing an MoU with Anhui College to establish the China-Pakistan Huijiang Workshop, complete with training facilities and residential space for Pakistani instructors. In addition, a new China-Pakistan High-Skilled Talent Training Center is set to be launched in collaboration with the Zhejiang Institute, focusing on smart manufacturing and e-commerce capabilities 

Notably, the delegation initiated mechanisms for the mutual recognition of vocational certifications with Saudi Arabia and Oman, thereby opening new employment pathways for Pakistani workers abroad.

 Why It Matters

These initiatives, backed by the official CPTICE framework, aim to strengthen Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) across Pakistan. By aligning training with global industry standards and creating cross-border certification systems, the collaboration supports youth employment and enhances Pakistan’s talent readiness for CPEC-driven industrial growth.

This partnership marks a pivotal step in building a knowledge-based workforce poised to participate in mega infrastructure, energy, and technology projects under CPEC Phase II.
