KARACHI – ICI Pakistan Foundation launched its ‘Ilm-o-Hunar’ skill development programme by signing an MOU with the Construction Technology Training Institute (CTTI) Islamabad to start a vocational training program for painters in February 2011. ICI Paints collaborated with CTTI to foster the training of painters in paint application techniques, trouble shooting, color selection and good safety and environmental practices.
Painters will receive certification at the end of the three-month course which will be a step towards formalising the profession. Upon successful completion of this pilot project, ICI aims to expand the extent and scope of this program to train painters across Pakistan. Through its ‘Ilm-o-Hunar’ programme, ICI plans to establish skill development programs across Pakistan with the aim of creating opportunities for sustainable development.
