Pakistan AI Centers of Excellence (Pak AI CoE)

Connecting hubs to local TVET ecosystems

Pak AI CoE hubs are not standalone training centers. Each hub is a service node for multiple TVET institutes, colleges and training providers in its district, helping them offer AI programs without duplicating infrastructure.

Service model for district institutes

• TVET providers send learners to hubs for AI lab work and assessments.
• Instructors from district institutes receive ToT and mentoring at the hub.
• Shared use of HPC and sandboxes for joint projects and industry pilots.

Planning with TEVTAs and NAVTTC

• District-level mapping of institutes, enrolments and sector priorities.
• Agreements on seat allocation, cost-sharing and scheduling.
• Use of hub data to guide future TVET investments in each district.

Benefits for learners and employers

• Learners stay enrolled in their home institutes while gaining access to advanced AI labs.
• Employers see a unified local talent pool rather than scattered small programs.
• District authorities get a clear view of AI skill pipelines feeding local industry.
