ISLAMABAD: Marketing of Pakistani professionals from Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector has been initiated in Japan with an aim of fetching a maximum quota in the jobs recently announced by Tokyo for the overseas workers.

\n\u201cThis will not be a brain drain for Pakistan as the ICT workforce will have different type of job opportunities in Japan including online, freelance and in-person,\u201d the senior officer insisted.
\nSpecial Assistant to the Prime Minister on OPHRD also confirmed the development on his twitter account while announcing the beginning of recruitment of Pakistani workers from Information Technology (IT) sector in Japan in near future.
\n\u201cOPHRD and Inter-SES are collaborating to offer job opportunities in Japan for qualified youth of Pakistan,\u201d he tweeted the other day.
\nA few days earlier, while addressing the signing ceremony of the MoU between OEC and Inter-SES, he announced that recruitment of 120 skilled workers, who had been imparted Japanese language by the ministry, was underway.
\nThe SAPM said the government would soon appoint a Community Welfare Attach\u00e9 in Japan to boost footprint of Pakistani workforce in Japan.
\n\u201cSince Japan is an aging population and will be needing around 500,000 of workforce in future, it is our priority to fetch maximum quota for Pakistan out of this,\u201d Zulfikar Bukhari maintained.
\nHe said the ministry was exploring new markets to create maximum job opportunities for Pakistani workforce in other than gulf countries. \u201cWe want to digress as a country and ministry and do not want to be heavily populated in one region.\u201d
\nThe SAPM vowed all-out efforts for bringing the Pakistani diaspora in Japan at par with the gulf countries as it had immense potential to meet the growing employment needs of Pakistan.
