The Association of Builders and Developers (ABAD), in collaboration with NAVTTC, Build Asia, Popular Pipes Group of Companies, and Trace Pakistan, successfully conducted a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) initiative to formally recognise the skills and experience of Pakistan’s skilled workforce. 

A total of 459 skilled professionals were successfully certified in just three days (292 Plumbers | 167 Electricians), completely free of cost.The initiative provided experienced workers with an opportunity to obtain nationally recognised RPL certification, validating the knowledge and skills they have acquired through years of practical experience.

We were also honoured to have Madam Asifa Maqbool, DG NAVTTC Punjab, visit the stall, witness the assessment process, and appreciate the efforts of industry towards skills recognition and workforce development.

This initiative demonstrates the impact of industry–government collaboration in creating pathways for recognition, employment, and career advancement for Pakistan’s skilled workforce.
