Rana Mashhood said the initiative reflects the government’s vision of creating a Digitally Skilled Pakistan. He added, “This programme is a major step toward empowering our youth with globally competitive skills.”

The training program is a collaboration between NAVTTC, Uni Services International, and ITMC China. This partnership also strengthens Pakistan-China cooperation in digital education and human resource development. After completing the course, trainees will receive joint certification from institutions in both countries.

To promote digital learning across Pakistan, Mashhood also announced the launch of the ‘Practice of Skills’ platform, which will offer free digital learning accounts to youth and freelancers. The platform aims to make digital education more accessible and encourage more young people to develop technical expertise.

He further stated that this initiative, developed under a public-private partnership model, will modernize Pakistan’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system. It will also help align local training programs with international standards and prepare a new generation of tech-savvy professionals.
