Duration: 6 Months
 Course Details / Description & Preliminaries
Course Title Certificate in Construction Materials Testing

Objectives and Employable skills and hands on practice for Construction Materials
Expectations Testing.
This is a special course designed to address unemployment in the youth.
The course aims to achieve the above objective through hands on practical
training delivery by a team of dedicated professionals having rich
market/work experience. This course is therefore not just for developing a
theoretical understanding/back ground of the trainees. Contrary to that it is
primarily aimed at equipping the trainees to perform commercially in a
market space in independent capacity or as a member of a team.

The course therefore is designed to impart not only technical skills but also
soft skills (i.e. interpersonal/communication skills; personal grooming of the
trainees etc.) as well as entrepreneurial skills (i.e. marketing skills; free
lancing etc.). The course also seeks to inculcate work ethics to foster better
citizenship in general and improve the image of Pakistani work force in
particular.

Main Expectations:
In short, the course under reference should be delivered by professional
instructors in such a robust hand- on manner that the trainees are
comfortably able to employ their skills for earning money (through wage/self-
employment) at its conclusion.
This course thus clearly goes beyond the domain of the traditional training
practices in vogue and underscores an expectation that a market centric
approach will be adopted as the main driving force while delivering it. The
instructors should therefore be experienced enough to be able to identify the
training needs for the possible market roles available out there. Moreover,
they should also know the strengths and weaknesses of each individual

FVTLM004 Page 1
 trainee to prepare them for such market roles during/after the training.

i. Specially designed practical tasks to be performed by the trainees

have been included in the Annexure-I to this document. The
record of all tasks performed individually or in groups must be
preserved by the management of the training Institute clearly
labeling name, trade, session etc so that these are ready to be
physically inspected/verified through monitoring visits from time to
time. The weekly distribution of tasks has also been indicated in
the weekly lesson plan given in this document.
ii. In order to materialize the main expectations, a special module on
Job Search & Entrepreneurial Skills has been included in the
later part of this course (5th & 6th month) through which, the
trainees will be made aware of the Job search techniques in the
local as well as international job markets (Gulf countries).
Awareness around the visa process and immigration laws of the
most favoured labour destination countries also forms a part of
this module. Moreover, the trainees would also be encouraged to
venture into self-employment and exposed to the main
requirements in this regard. It is also expected that a sense of
civic duties/roles and responsibilities will also be inculcated in the
trainees to make them responsible citizens of the country.
iii. A module on Work Place Ethics has also been included to
highlight the importance of good and positive behavior at work
place in the line with the best practices elsewhere in the world. An
outline of such qualities has been given in the Appendix to this
document. Its importance should be conveyed in a format that is
attractive and interesting for the trainees such as through PPT
slides +short video documentaries. Needless to say that if the
training provider puts his heart and soul into these otherwise non-
technical components, the image of Pakistani workforce would
FVTLM004 Page 2
 undergo a positive transformation in the local as well as
international job markets.

In order to maintain interest and motivation of the trainees throughout the

course, modern techniques such as:
• Motivational Lectures
• Success Stories
• Case Studies
These techniques would be employed as an additional training tool
wherever possible (these are explained in the subsequent section on
Training Methodology).
Lastly, evaluation of the competencies acquired by the trainees will be done
objectively at various stages of the training and proper record of the same
will be maintained. Suffice to say that for such evaluations, practical tasks
would be designed by the training providers to gauge the problem-solving
abilities of the trainees.

(i) Motivational Lectures

The proposed methodology for the training under reference employs
motivation as a tool. Hence besides the purely technical content, a trainer is
required to include elements of motivation in his/her lecture. To inspire the
trainees to utilize the training opportunity to the full and strive towards
professional excellence. Motivational lectures may also include general
topics such as the importance of moral values and civic role &
responsibilities as a Pakistani. A motivational lecture should be delivered
with enough zeal to produce a deep impact on the trainees. It may comprise
of the following:

 Clear Purpose to convey message to trainees effectively.

 Personal Story to quote as an example to follow.
 Trainees Fit so that the situation is actionable by trainees and not
represent a just idealism.
 Ending Points to persuade the trainees on changing themselves.

FVTLM004 Page 3
 A good motivational lecture should help drive creativity, curiosity and spark
the desire needed for trainees to want to learn more.
Impact of a successful motivational strategy is amongst others commonly
visible in increased class participation ratios. It increases the trainees’
willingness to be engaged on the practical tasks for longer time without
boredom and loss of interest because they can clearly see in their mind's
eye where their hard work would take them in short (1-3 years); medium (3 -
10 years) and long term (more than 10 years).

As this tool is expected that the training providers would make arrangements
for regular well-planned motivational lectures as part of a coordinated
strategy interspersed throughout the training period as suggested in the
weekly lesson plans in this document.

(ii) Success Stories

Another effective way of motivating the trainees is by means of Success
Stories. Its inclusion in the weekly lesson plan at regular intervals has been
recommended till the end of the training.
A success story may be disseminated orally, through a presentation or by
means of a video/documentary of someone that has risen to fortune,
acclaim, or brilliant achievement. A success story shows how a person
achieved his goal through hard work, dedication and devotion. An inspiring
success story contains compelling and significant facts articulated clearly
and easily comprehendible words. Moreover, it is helpful if it is assumed that
the reader/listener knows nothing of what is being revealed. Optimum
impact is created when the story is revealed in the form of: -
 Directly in person (At least 2-3 cases must be arranged by the
training institute)
 Through an audio/ videotaped message (2-3 high quality videos must
be arranged by the training institute)

It is expected that the training provider would collect relevant high-quality

success stories for inclusion in the training as suggested in the weekly

FVTLM004 Page 4
 lesson plan given in this document.
Suggestive structure and sequence of a sample success story and its
various shapes can be seen at annexure III.

(iii) Case Studies

Where a situation allows, case studies can also be presented to the trainees
to widen their understanding of the real-life specific problem/situation and to
explore the solutions.
In simple terms, the case study method of teaching uses a real-life case
example/a typical case to demonstrate a phenomenon in action and explain
theoretical as well as practical aspects of the knowledge related to the
same. It is an effective way to help the trainees comprehend in depth both
the theoretical and practical aspects of the complex phenomenon in depth
with ease. Case teaching can also stimulate the trainees to participate in
discussions and thereby boost their confidence. It also makes class room
atmosphere interesting thus maintaining the trainee interest in training till the
end of the course.
Depending on suitability to the trade, the weekly lesson plan in this
document may suggest case studies to be presented to the trainees. The
trainer may adopt a power point presentation or video format for such case
studies whichever is deemed suitable but it’s important that only those cases
are selected that are relevant and of a learning value.
The Trainees should be required and supervised to carefully analyze the
cases.
For the purpose they must be encouraged to inquire and collect specific
information / data, actively participate in the discussions and intended
solutions of the problem / situation.

Case studies can be implemented in the following ways: -

i. A good quality trade specific documentary (At least 2-3
documentaries must be arranged by the training institute)
ii. Health &Safety case studies (2 cases regarding safety and
industrial accidents must be arranged by the training institute)

FVTLM004 Page 5
 iii. Field visits (At least one visit to a trade specific major industry/
site must be arranged by the training institute)

 4. What is up next for the next 2 weeks ahead so young
people know what to expect (see pages 5-7 for an
overview of the challenge). Allow young people to ask
any questions about the session topic.
Team Activity Planning: MENTOR: Explain to the whole team that you will now
30 minutes be planning how to collaborate for the first and second
collaborative Team Activities that will take place outside
of the session. There will not be another session until
the next session so this step is required because
communicating and making decisions outside of a
session requires a different strategy that must be
agreed upon so that everyone knows what they are
doing for this activity and how.
 “IDENTIFY ENTREPRENEURS” TEAM
ACTIVITY
 “BRAINSTORMING SOCIAL PROBLEMS” TEAM
ACTIVITY”
As a team, collaborate on a creative brainstorm on
social problems in your community. Vote on the areas
you feel most passionate about as a team, then write
down what change you would like to see happen.
Make sure the teams have the opportunity to talk about
how they want to work as a team through the activities
e.g. when they want to complete the activities, how to
communicate, the role of the project manager, etc.
Make sure you allocate each young person a specific
week that they are the project manager for the weekly
activities and make a note of this.
Type up notes for their strategy if this is helpful - it can
be included underneath the Team Contract.

Session Close: MENTOR: Close the session with the opportunity for
5 minutes anyone to ask any remaining questions.
Instructor:
Facilitate the wrap-up of the session. A quick reminder
of what is coming up next and when the next session
will be.
