The developed nations were fast enough to understand the significant impact of TVET education on the prosperity of the lives of their people, hence they have developed it into a system of links and relationships between various stakeholders. The under developing countries too are now realizing its importance and planning to strengthen the cooperation of various stakeholders. The TVET System inherited by Pakistan at the time of independence was carrying weak liaison with the industry and could not paid attention to develop of its TVET System due to political instability and internal issues. In this research study effort has been made to review the TVET system in the country in comparison with developed nation with the view to explore the level of quality of skilled manpower being produced by the TVET system and its liaison with the industry. Through this study the reasons of low quality of skilled workforce along with gaps both at the TVET institute and industry level have been highlighted. It has also pointed out the level of efforts being made by both the actors for maintaining the liaison between the two. The feedback was collected through questionnaires based survey from the Principals of the TVET institutions, who are responsible for imparting quality training, from the TVET graduates employed in the industry and the HR/Training Managers of the industry, involved in recruitment/training of the newly hired skilled workforce. The data/information was analyzed by statistics tools i.e SPSS and results were shrown that workforce produce by TVET institutions in Pakistan was lacking quality due number of reasons. In the light of results achieved through analysis of data, piloted study and literature review a TVET Institution-Industry linkage model has been proposed for the production of job oriented workforce by developing a strong liaison among the TVET stakeholders. This study also defines the responsibilities of all the stakeholders indicated in the model. This model has proposed an Intermediary Agency/National Labour Market Information System that would serve as a plate form for marinating the liaison between the TVET System and industry of the country for producing quality workforce acceptable in both local and global job market.
