While addressing a meeting regarding finalising the future plan of Chinese Language Course on Tuesday at the TEVTA Secretariat, Irfan Qaiser Sheikh said that TEVTA has set a target to teach Chinese language to 100,000 students across the province. He said that this target has been settled after keeping in mind the region’s biggest project of China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
CPEC has brought in more than 40,000 jobs in the country and this number will increase with the passage of time, he said adding that TEVTA has prepared a roadmap for coping with job opportunities of Chinese language interpreters.
The TEVTA chairman said that after the successful completion of 12 sessions of this course, now the 13th session will be held in 24 district of Punjab which will be held in three shifts in Lahore because it is the biggest city of the province. The course is also being offered in two shifts in other big cities of Punjab including Rawalpindi and Faisalabad. He added that TEVTA will also continue hiring Chinese instructors just to maintain the quality of the course.
He went on saying that there are numerous organisations which are offering this course which include both public and private organisations but TEVTA’s course is completely different from all of those. Its significance is its Chinese instructors, the quality and last but not the least, it is being offered free of cost, he said.
He further explained that TEVTA had also started executive classes for job holders as these classes are designed keeping in mind the timings and busy schedule of job holders. Due to these classes, our people will be able to attain the executive jobs of CPEC, he said adding that people from all walks of lives are attending executive classes like bureaucrats, police officers, government officers, professors and journalists.
He also informed that after completing this course from TEVTA, people are getting jobs worth Rs 30,000 which is a good salary for starters. In future these starters will be able to get salaries of more than Rs 50,000, he said.
