Centre for Professional and Technical Education

Introduction

Professional and Technical Education (PTE) is a type of education and training that focuses on providing students with practical skills and knowledge for a specific trade or vocation. It is often considered an alternative to traditional academic routes, such as university or college, and is designed to prepare students for a specific career or occupation.

The purpose and goals of PTE vary depending on the specific program and the needs of the local job market. In general, however, the aim of PTE is to provide students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their chosen career, and to help address any skills gaps in the job market. This type of education and training is an excellent choice for individuals who are looking for a more hands-on, practical approach to learning, and who want to get started in a specific career as quickly as possible.

The Centre for Professional and Technical Education at the Academy of Business Administration and Procurement Management has over the years set out in a creative and dynamic fashion to provide top-notch personnel with specific skills in several professional and technical areas.

Professional and Technical Education (PTE) is fundamentally pivotal to the socio-economic development of any country that is described as developing, under-developed or emerging economy. One way in which ‘PTE’ supports economic growth is by helping to address skills gaps in the job market.

By providing students with the practical, in-demand skills that employers need, PTE can help businesses find the talent they need to grow and thrive. This can have a ripple effect on the economy, as businesses that are able to find the talent, they need are more likely to expand and create new job opportunities.

The Centre has collaborated with other credible Institutions over the years to train Professional and Professionals in several Technical and Professional Field and this initiative will be expanded and improved in the years to come.
