“…In Pakistan, the existing setup of the National Vocational and Training Commission (NAVTTC) at the federal level and the Technical and Vocational Training Authorities (TEVTAs) at the provincial level is responsible for the provision of skilled workers in the country. The government has established engineering colleges and polytechnic institutes across the country, and each province has also established an authority for technical and vocational education (Chamadia & Shahid, 2018). The Government College of Technologies (GCTs) and Government Polytechnic Institutes (GPIs) provide diplomas of associate engineering (three years) and bachelor of technology (four years) in various trades across Pakistan.…”

A harmonized definition considering micro, small, medium and large establishments will help to launch a valid mechanism for the improvement of SMEs.…”
