The Electrician trade is one of the most vital technical skills in the SPPAP portfolio, focusing on domestic and commercial power systems. Trainees are taught the fundamentals of electricity, circuit wiring, and safety protocols. The course covers the installation of household wiring, repair of electrical switches, and troubleshooting of distribution boards. This skill is in high demand in Southern Punjab’s developing rural and semi-urban areas, allowing graduates to work as independent contractors or maintenance staff.
The Southern Punjab Poverty Alleviation Project (SPPAP) is a transformative initiative aimed at reducing poverty in most economically challenged districts of Southern Punjab. Supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the project is implemented through a financial agreement between the Government of Pakistan and IFAD. Oversight is provided by the Project Steering Committee (PSC), chaired and administered by the Punjab Planning & Development Board.
