Huawei to train Pakistani youth

Islamabad : In a significant development for Pakistan’s technical education sector, chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme Rana Mashood visited Huawei's Islamabad office on Saturday to discuss the modalities of an extensive training programme aimed at equipping 300,000 young Pakistanis with advanced skills in Information and Communication Technology (ICT).

The visit, which followed crucial technical discussions, marks a pivotal step in integrating Huawei's advanced training resources into Pakistan’s educational framework, according to Rana Mashood.

He said the initiative, guided by the directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, seeks to enhance technical education by leveraging Huawei’s global expertise and cutting-edge training materials.

"This strategic partnership is expected to substantially elevate the quality and reach of technical education throughout Pakistan, fostering skill development and innovation."

He said the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission would act as the implementation partner under the Prime Minister's Youth Skill Development Programme.

"The collaboration builds upon the foundation established during Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s visit to Huawei’s office in China, underscoring the commitment to advancing Pakistan’s technical education landscape," he said.
