Sarfraz Bugti Advocates for Youth Skills Development in Balochistan

Balochistan is a province rich in culture and potential, yet it faces significant challenges in terms of youth unemployment and skill development. Recognizing this pressing issue, Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti has taken a proactive stance by emphasizing the importance of the Chief Minister’s Youth Skills Development Program. This initiative aims to equip the youth of Balochistan with essential technical skills, enabling them to secure better job opportunities both locally and internationally.

During a recent meeting, Chief Minister Bugti highlighted the need for swift execution of this program. He assured that the government would allocate the necessary resources to ensure its successful implementation. The program is designed to train young individuals in various technical fields, thereby producing a skilled workforce that can meet the demands of the global job market. The Chief Minister noted that the first batch of trained youth from Balochistan is set to be sent abroad by the end of this month, where they will have the chance to explore lucrative employment opportunities.

Bugti stressed the importance of meritocracy in the selection process, ensuring that youth from all districts of Balochistan have equal access to this program. He believes that by providing training to unskilled youth, the program will not only enhance their employability but also contribute significantly to the economic development of the province. The Chief Minister pointed out that the demand for skilled manpower is exceptionally high worldwide, particularly in regions like the Middle East, Japan, and Europe.

Moreover, the initiative aims to award international standard certificates to the participants upon completion of their training. This certification will serve as a valuable asset for the youth, enhancing their chances of securing jobs abroad. Bugti emphasized that facilitating the youth in finding employment in the international market will also increase the remittance share of Balochistan, which is crucial for the province's economic growth.

The Chief Minister’s Youth Skills Development Program represents a vital step towards empowering the youth of Balochistan. By equipping them with the necessary skills and providing them with opportunities to work abroad, the program not only aims to reduce unemployment but also to foster a sense of hope and ambition among the younger generation. As Balochistan continues to develop, investing in the skills of its youth will undoubtedly pave the way for a brighter and more prosperous future.
