Trace Pakistan, a prominent vocational training institute located on Rashid Minhas Road in Karachi, hosted a significant visit from representatives of GEMS Pathways, the authorized partner of City & Guilds UK in Pakistan and the MENA region. This visit was part of the center accreditation process, aiming to align Trace Pakistan’s programs with international vocational education standards.
During the visit, Mr. Tabish Fareedi, Country Manager, Mr. Furqan Iqbal Head of Academics and Mr. Irshad Ahmed, Quality Assurance Head, of GEMS Pathways, were welcomed by Mr. Salman Haroon, CEO of Trace Pakistan, and Mr. Suleman Saleem, Director/Principal. The delegation toured the facility, observing its state-of-the-art infrastructure and diverse skill development courses.
Mr. Fareedi emphasized the global relevance of City & Guilds certifications and their value in the international job market. This collaboration marks a significant step towards providing students with globally recognized qualifications, empowering them for success in both local and international markets.
This initiative aligns with a broader national effort to enhance vocational and technical education in Pakistan. City & Guilds UK, in collaboration with GEMS Middle East and the National Vocational & Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC), awarded international accreditation to over 35 institutions across the country. This move aims to create international employment opportunities for Pakistani youth, particularly in the GCC and European markets.
Trace Pakistan, established in 2018, is dedicated to empowering individuals through customized training programs and technical services. The institute offers a range of courses, including a graphic designing course with a 100% scholarship on tuition fees, aiming to equip students with essential design skills and unlock creative career opportunities.
