Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme, Rana Mashhood Ahmed Khan, has announced a plan to create jobs for 25,000 Balochistan youth in 12 districts.
He urged Karachi’s business and industrial leaders to help reduce unemployment in the province.
He said that creating jobs would support economic growth and help bring lasting peace and prosperity to Balochistan.
How many young people will get jobs in the first phase?
Rana Mashhood said the first phase would aim to help between 6,000 and 7,000 young people find jobs.
He stressed that the government and private sector must work together to connect young people with employment opportunities.
He also called on Karachi’s industries and businesses to work with the programme. These partnerships would help young people find jobs and gain technical skills and practical work experience.
Why is industrial growth important for jobs?
Business leaders Zubair Motiwala and Javed Balwani also spoke about the need to support industries and create more jobs.
