“…Although we are a developing country, however, we have a satisfactory setup of the industry. In this regard, it is a need to give more attention to providing "TVET" with schooling to cope with the problem of scarcity of skilled workers (Siddiqui et al, 2019). At the national level, NAVTTC is responsible for TVE, whereas, at the provincial level, TEVTAs are performing their role (Okon et al, 2016).…”

“…Some students showed less interest than others and had no motivation to learn new skills or face new challenges (Usoro & Etuk, 2016). C u r r e n t l y, r e s e a r c h o n T V E T programmes in Pakistan has been mainly anchored on demographic differences, facilities, funding, curriculum, and enrolment (Azeem et al, 2022;Chamadia & Shahid, 2018;Siddiqui et al, 2019).

Studies have shown that the behaviour of family, friends and significant others shapes young people’s self-belief and interest in Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes. However, limited research has documented how vocational self-efficacy can significantly impact the relationship between perceived social support and students’ interest in Pakistani TVET programmes. Thus, this study utilised quantitative research to examine the role of vocational self-efficacy as a moderator in the relationship between perceived social support and students’ interest in TVET programmes. A total of 386 secondary school students filled out three questionnaires: vocational self-efficacy, perceived social support, and interest in the TVET programmes scale using Social Cognitive Career theory as a theoretical framework. The data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and statistical analysis using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The correlation analysis revealed that perceived social support and students’ interest in the TVET programmes were negatively correlated, and vocational self-efficacy was not a moderator. This study benefits the authorities, policymakers, and researchers in supporting TVET programmes in Pakistan.
