Rapid digitalization in Pakistan has increased demand for graduates and technicians who are comfortable working with artificial intelligence (AI) tools and workflows, creating a need to modernize TVET learning to remain practical and employability-focused. At the same time, the growing uptake of AI tools by TVET students brings new challenges regarding responsible use, academic integrity and basic security that need to be addressed.

In response to this gap, the National Skills University (NSU), a UNEVOC Centre, embedded AI literacy directly into existing computing programmes by adapting curricula, revising learning assessments and building instructor capacity, while keeping the approach budget-conscious and scalable.
