Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (Tevta) has introduced information system to provide job opportunities to its pass-outs.  Tevta pass-outs can give their details to get jobs. Tevta has started Skilled Labour Market Information System (SLMIS) from March this year. 

CVs of 282,450 trainees are available for recruitment. Similarly, employers are regularly posting available jobs. Tevta Chairperson Irfan Qaiser Sheikh was addressing the officers to review the progress of SLMIS on Tuesday at Tevta Secretariat. Chief Operating Officer Jawad Ahmed Qureshi, Tevta Officers Akhtar Abbas Bharwana, Aamer Aziz, Azhar Iqbal Shad, Umer Farooq, Aisha Qazi, Maqsood Ahmad, Sarfraz Anwar and other officers were present. 

According to a press release, Irfan Qaiser Sheikh said SLMIS is being appreciated by national and multi-national organisations. Now, NAVTTC has also introduced similar labor market information systems in other provinces. As many as 32,367 companies have been registered on Skilled Labour Market Information System (SLMIS) and 400-500 jobs remain available both within country and abroad and the number is increasing with each passing day.

The facility of free registration is available for all pass-outs of technical and vocational institutes of Tevta and employers on this job web portal so that unemployed skilled youth may find suitable job opportunities. 

Tevta chairperson said this system will help to reduce unemployment in the fight against poverty and enable the skilled youth of Punjab to contribute towards socio-economic development of the country.
