Minister pledge to empower youth with essential skills

Federal Minister Chaudhry Salik Hussain pledged to prepare the youth with vital skills to facilitate their employment opportunities abroad.

Speaking on the matter, Hussain noted, “Technical experts often struggle to adjust to the social norms in foreign countries, leading to numerous challenges for them.”

He highlighted that such training should be made compulsory through the Bureau of Emigration & Overseas Employment.

“The pilot project will be launched in Islamabad, Lahore, and Peshawar, and a monitoring resource center will also be established,” Hussain added.

Recently, Hussain had highlighted the importance of registering seminaries, stating, “I have been in continuous discussions with seminaries, clerics, and political leaders regarding this. It was due to Maulana Fazl ur Rehman’s demands that the bill was passed by parliament.”

He agreed that legal difficulties may take time to fully address the matters related to the seminaries’ bill.
