Human resource development (HRD) through technical and vocational education and training (TVET) consists upon provision of different skill trades through provincial and federal TVET authorities/commissions and allied TVET departments in Baluchistan. The strength of TVET system include both technical education and vocational trainings, provincial TVET authority, TVET allied departments, TVET dissemination through private and public sectors, membership in TVET laws and protocol mechanism endorsed by ILO and UNESCO, trade testing boards, and many more attributes. TVET Weaknesses are present in administrative and legal issues among TVET authorities and departments, highly imbalanced and skewed skill trades among technical education and vocational trainings, skill trades deficiencies, gender-wise biased provision of skills, skill quality compromises, inadequate number of TVET institutions, traditional TVET skill trades, and non-collaboration among TVET institutions and authorities. The opportunities lie in newly emerging skill demand in projects of CPEC, international markets of Europe, Middle East, and neighboring Gulf states for decent work and earnings, national skill demands, HRD through skill development of labor force, provincial skill policies, and absorption of skills in mega projects. Probable threats to TVET system include slower and lower skill formation, skill shortages and biasness for females and rural areas, in-competitiveness of local skill provision regionally, imbalanced among technical education and vocational training, expected arrival of Chinese skilled labor force, expansion of TVET trades to highly demand driven skills, and lowest socio-economic indicators for the establishment and development of TVET system in Baluchistan. Policy recommendations implies for skill development and human capital formation through a set of strategically wellcoordinated and comprehensive actions for the development of TVET system in Baluchistan.
