THE COMPARISON BETWEEN HIGH-TECH TRADE AND CONVENTIONAL TRADE JOB OPPORTUNITY IN NAVTTC

Abstract

Regarding the reform of Pakistan's TVET industry, NAVTTC has launched a plethora of projects. When companies rely on the IT support field, their operations run smoothly. Finding out how NAVTTC's high-tech trade and traditional trade programs stack up against one another was the driving force behind the research. In order to increase employment chances in developing industries, it is vital to compare high-tech trades with NAVTTC job opportunities. This will help identify growth sectors, link education initiatives, and bridge skill gaps. The research approach was a straightforward descriptive survey, and the study was quantitative in character. All of Lahore's technical and vocational schools made up the study's population. The one hundred students that made up the study's overall sample were chosen using a multistage random sampling process. A self-administered questionnaire was used to gather data. Expert opinion was used to establish validity, and following pilot testing, Cronbach's alpha reliability was found at 0.83. Following data collection, the research topics were examined using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inference statistics (independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA). The results showed that when it came to high tech career options, there was no significant difference between male and female pupils on average. In addition, the results show that there is no statistically significant difference (p < 0.05) in the levels of occupational anxiety and fulfilment at work among instructors when considering their age and educational background. Therefore, it is advised to keep NAVTTC's training and resources current so they can adapt to the changing needs of traditional and modern trade jobs.
