ISLAMABAD: Nasir Mansoor Qureshi, President of the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ICCI), while addressing a group of visiting business leaders, delivered a message: \u201cIf we are to build a prosperous Pakistan, we must build its people first.\u201d President Qureshi emphasized the urgent need to establish more skill development centers \u2014 not as a mere formality, but as centers of excellence that align with international standards. \u201cOur youth are talented, energetic, and eager to contribute,\u201d he stated. \u201cBut without proper training aligned with global trends, we are underutilizing our most valuable resource.\u201d He drew on successful models from Germany and South Korea, where robust vocational training systems played a transformative role in economic development. He proposed a national roadmap for technical advancement, urging public-private partnerships to invest in state-of-the-art training institutes. These, he said, must be equipped with modern labs, industry-driven curricula, and certified instructors. \u201cWe need centres that teach not just skills, but the skills that matter \u2014 AI, green technology, smart manufacturing, logistics, and digital finance,\u201d he stressed.
