National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) was established in 2005 to regulate & mange TVET Sector in Pakistan. NAVTTC, under Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, is the apex body mandated to promote, facilitate, regulate, strategize, revamp, approve curricula, train, and provide policy direction for the country’s entire Technical & Vocational Education and Training and Development system.

NAVTTC has taken several interventions for reforming TVET sector in Pakistan. As a first step, it evolved a National Skills Strategy in consultation with all the stakeholders including industrialists, chambers of commerce, employers, academia, policy makers and international development partners. The NSS provides a comprehensive action plan for revamping of TVET in the country. Several actions have already been taken on the recommendations contained in the NSIS, which includes development of National Vocational Qualification Framework (NVQF), national qualifications system for teachers.
