PM Skills Development Program Launched In Balochistan
The minister emphasized that the primary objective is to elevate the living standards of the youth while fostering economic growth through remittances sent back to Pakistan.

Minister Amjad Rashid articulated the global demand for Pakistani manpower, citing regions such as Korea, Europe, and the Middle East. However, he stressed the importance of ensuring that the youth possess the necessary skills and training to meet the escalating demands of the international job market. “We aspire to equip every aspiring individual with the skills required to secure the best jobs abroad,” Rashid asserted.
Youth To Contribute Significantly To The National Economy
This strategic initiative aligns with the government’s vision to not only address unemployment but also contribute significantly to the national economy through the export of skilled labor. As the program progresses, it is anticipated to empower a new generation of skilled professionals, fostering economic prosperity and elevating Pakistan’s standing in the international arena.
