Abstract: This research examines the challenges that impede the adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the field of Technical Education and Vocational Training (TVET) accredited institutions in the Punjab, Pakistan and explores the potential of ICT to improve the TVET sector and alleviate poverty. The study employs a descriptive survey design, which is a type of research used to identify current conditions, processes, and relationships, as well as to determine the key characteristics of variables of importance in each context. The focus of the study is to analyze the adoption rates of ICT in TVET institutions and to validate the Technology Organization Environment (TOE) framework for the TVET sector, which aims to incorporate ICT. The scope of this research is to identify challenges that hinder the adoption of ICT, assess the levels of availability and usage of ICT, and determine what is needed by TVET-accredited institutions to overcome these challenges. With the aid of ICT, everyone who interacts with TVET institutions can process store retrieve and transfer information which can improve the quality of education and help alleviate poverty in Pakistan.
