Founded in October 2010, a distinguished vocational and technical training institute dedicated to empowering youth—both young men and women—by offering a diverse array of courses in technical fields, IT, multimedia, and home economics.
The institute began welcoming students in October 2010, providing 11 specialized courses available to both genders, with program durations of 3 and 6 months. CITE holds esteemed affiliations and accreditations from the National Vocational & Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC), Trade and Testing Board (TTB), Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (TVETA), Punjab Skill Development Authority (PSDA), and Punjab Skill Development Fund (PSDF).
In response to the community's growing aspirations, CITE expanded its workshop and laboratory capacities in 2023 to accommodate an increasing number of students. To ensure broader access to skill development, the institute now offers classes in both morning and evening shifts.
Initially focused on Bahawalpur, CITE has extended its reach to numerous towns, now serving youth across the entire Southern Punjab region. Committed to community service, CITE provides free courses, ensuring that no individual is left unskilled or deprived of opportunities.
Looking ahead, CITE plans to introduce new courses tailored to meet the evolving demands of the market and industry. With a vision to become the premier institute in Southern Punjab, CITE’s management and staff remain dedicated to the institution’s ongoing growth and rapid advancement.
As one of the pioneers in technical and vocational training, CITE proudly counts over 13,000 graduates among its alumni, many of whom have secured employment or ventured into successful self-employment.
