QUETTA: Balochistan Technical Education and Vocational Training Authority (BTEVTA) has launched a groundbreaking program aimed at sending 30,000 skilled youth abroad to enhance their employment opportunities and boost the province’s socio-economic development.

Tariq Khan Mengal, Chief of BTEVTA, highlighted the program’s vision, stating, “This initiative is a game-changer for Balochistan. By equipping our youth with technical skills, we are not only creating individual success stories but also uplifting entire communities.”

The training program focuses on imparting technical education in high-demand sectors, such as construction, healthcare, and IT, ensuring candidates are well-prepared for global job markets.

Youth Share Their Dreams

Similarly, Muhammad Aslam, a resident of Kachhi, shared, “I’m being trained in electrical engineering. Once abroad, I’ll not only secure a better job but also inspire others in my village to pursue technical education.”
