\nThe National Vocational & Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) and NETSOL Technologies have launched a major initiative to upskill Pakistan\u2019s youth, signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide 1,600 fully-funded scholarships in high-demand technology fields.
\nThe \u201cNational AI Upskilling Initiative,\u201d signed into effect today, will deliver comprehensive training in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, and Cybersecurity. As a cornerstone of the program, participants will also have the opportunity to earn international certifications from recognized global bodies, with all training provided completely free of cost.
\nMr. Muhammad Aamir Jan, Executive Director of NAVTTC, emphasized the initiative\u2019s strategic importance. \u201cThis partnership is a strategic leap under our Industry-Led Trainings component in our mission to future-proof Pakistan\u2019s workforce,\u201d he stated. \u201cBy providing free, certified training in these frontier technologies, we are not just creating job seekers but future innovators and entrepreneurs who will drive our national economy forward. NAVTTC is committed to ensuring our youth are not left behind but are leading the charge in the global digital revolution.\u201d
\nThe initiative, a key component of the Prime Minister\u2019s Youth Skill Development Program (PMYSDP 2023\u20132026), was formalized at a signing ceremony between Mr. Muhammad Aamir Jan and NETSOL\u2019s CEO & Founder, Mr. Salim Ghauri.
\nMr. Ghauri expressed his strong support, stating, \u201cI would like to thank the NAVTTC team for bringing this collaboration to fruition. We have been in business for 30 years with very limited partners because we believe in quality and maintaining standards. It has been a longstanding wish to venture into education, but we didn\u2019t want to do it commercially. These trainings will help Pakistan and its youth and contribute to our economy as well.\u201d
\nDesigned to directly address the global skills gap, the \u201cNational AI Upskilling Initiative\u201d aims to create a robust pipeline of tech talent, empowering a new generation to contribute to Pakistan\u2019s growing digital ecosystem and compete effectively in the international market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
