Collaboration Highlights
Background
China and Pakistan's 'all-weather friendship' has deepened significantly through the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) - a US$62+ billion investment transforming Pakistan's infrastructure, energy, and industrial landscape. NAVTTC has aligned its training programs to meet CPEC's massive workforce requirements, from port operations at Gwadar to power plant technicians, highway construction workers, and SEZ industrial workers. Chinese language training (HSK) is increasingly integrated to enable direct communication with Chinese employers and supervisors.
