3. Introduction

Rapid advancement in technical fields and its influence in our day-to-day work have produced a challenging demand of technically well trained people. Thus the need for establishing an Institute of Technical Training was felt by SUPARCO to prepare highly competent and technically well trained workforce. The SUPARCO Institute of Technical Training (SITT) has come a long way to what it is today. The genesis of the Institute was laid out of t h e need for preparing fresh diploma holders in the environment of SUPARCO. Keeping in view the present and future manpower needs, SITT was established in the year 2002 at SUPARCO, Karachi. Initially, diploma programs in the fields of Electronics and Mechanical were introduced. It is an elite institution that offers exceptional preparation for professionals that require technological sophistication. Through a committed faculty and close personal attention, SITT provides a challenging academic program in line with the rigor of the real world. Inter professional projects prepare students for that world with interdisciplinary approach that demands creativity as well as technical and industrial skills. SITT is a recognized institute of training for Diploma of Associate Engineering (DAE) in Electronics and Mechanical Trades and is affiliated with Sindh Board of Technical Education (SBTE). Highly qualified and leading professionals of Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical technologies form the Institute faculty. State-of-the-art lecture rooms, laboratories, workshops and a resourceful library are the hallmark of SITT. Above all, the institute offers a conducive environment for learning. Academic programs focus on rigorous technical trainings and theoretical foundations

to create professionals with thorough understanding of fundamentals and the capability of applying this knowledge for research, design and development purposes. At present, SITT is running several academic programs, all aiming to prepare a technically sound workforce for SUPARCO. These include:

• a 3-year apprenticeship program, providing DAE qualification to matriculate students

• the Skill Development Program for training the existing technical manpower of SUPARCO

• a 1-year post DAE apprenticeship training program for DAE qualified sub engineers

• a number of short training courses in both technical and non-technical fields

The continuous need for progressing forward necessitates a constant effort to improve the existing infra structure and open the way for innovative developments.
