VISION OF THE PSC

The vision of Postal Staff College draws its strength from the concept of learning organization and the process of continuous learning. It envisions a learning environment which does not accept training as a one time activity. To the contrary the training becomes a continuous process in organizational learning and development.

The mission of PSC hinges on FOUR core objectives. These core objectives are:

• Training of postal executives and managers.
• Managing and imparting training to "operative core".
• Updating, exchanging and generating knowledge & information through seminars, workshops and conferences.
• Extending training assistance to fellow developing countries.

TRAINING OF POSTAL EXECUTIVES & MANAGERS

The PSC is at the forefront of ensuring smooth transition for young postal officers from the Common Training Programme (CTP) of Civil Services Academy to its highly focused Specialized Training Programme (STP).

Officers are selected for the Postal Service through a highly competitive Central Superior Services Examination. The Common Training Programme offers broad training to officers from different services of the Federal Government. It initiates the process of induction of young federal civil servants into the core federal bureaucracy. C.T.P emphasizes networking and promote integration among diverse federal services.

The Specialized Training Programme at the PSC is designed to baptize the young civil servants as postal managers and executives. It provides a launching pad for their initiation into the Postal Service and systematically exposes them to a unique organizational culture.

The PSC also provides management training to the executives who get promotion from lower cadre.

MANAGING AND IMPARTING TRAINING TO THE "OPERATIVE CORE"

Operating core is the heart of Pakistan Post Office Department. It is the part that produces essential outputs that keeps post office functioning.

Postal Staff College provides guidance, assistance and leadership in the vocational training of operative core through regional training centres.

PSC undertakes continuous revision and updating of syllabi of training courses offered by the Postal Training Centres at Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, Peshawar and Quetta. It focuses on enhancing skills, problem solving capabilities, process management and operational efficiency of the operative core.

UPDATING, EXCHANGING AND GENERATING KNOWLEDGE & INFORMATION THROUGH SEMINARS, WORKSHOPS AND CONFERENCES

Postal Staff College drawing inspiration from the vision of a learning organization organizes seminars, workshops and conferences to provide an enabling environment for its mid-career executives and senior managers.

These learning opportunities allow postal executives to exchange knowledge and information on cutting edge themes in their respective areas of professional concern.

PSC also encourages generation of knowledge by sponsoring and launching various research projects.
