Google’s scholarships for 1000 youth of Balochistan would open new vistas of opportunities and skill development. Tech Valley Pakistan, a consulting and technology partner organization with governments and communities signed a memorandum of understanding with the Balochistan government. Under the program, the program is taught and developed by Google employees with decades of experience in these fields.

Google offers 1000 scholarships

The youth/ students from Balochistan would get an opportunity to get global Google certification and get jobs using the internet and laptops. This initiative would enable the youth of Balochistan to get jobs in the information technology center.

Tech Valley signs MoU with 5 departments of Balochistan

This is Tech Valley Pakistan’s first collaboration with the provincial government which includes a partnership with colleges, higher and technical education departments, education departments, science, information and technology department, labor and manpower department, industries and commerce department, and health department.

Indeed, this is a big development. However, this daily has received multiple queries about the method of applying for scholarships from Turbat, Kharan, Jaffarabad, Killa Abdullah, and other districts of Balochistan.

Students need to be apprised about the method of applying for the scholarships

The officials preferred to stress the importance of the project. However, students and youth are yet to be simply apprised about the method of applying for the scholarships.

Undoubtedly, the world has now practically become a global village after the development of information technology. There are no barriers or obstacles for the students to get quality education in Balochistan. Although, the availability of internet service is a prerequisite.

Hamza Shafqaat deserves appreciation

The Balochistan Secretary of Information, Hamza Shafqaat deserves to be appreciated for playing a key role in ensuring the acquisition of scholarships for students of Balochistan.

The provincial government needs to launch an awareness program for the youth interested in Google’s certification program. The youth of Balochistan should be given a healing touch since they remained deprived of quality education/skills and opportunities in all sectors.
