Acquire skills under government programmes

Students who are more interested in developing work skills rather than pursuing an academic path are encouraged to apply for courses under the Government’s skills training programmes. Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Dr Fong Chan Onn said his Ministry and the Youth and Sports Ministry provides various training programmes including courses in automotive, electronics and mechanical engineering, hospitality management and beauty skills. Dr Fong encouraged students to apply as the Government programmes are just as good as those offered by the private institutions. The first phase of the road show would be held in 18 places nationwide from March 21 to April 14.

ISLAMABAD, Sept 13 (Bernama) -- Pakistan will become a major source of export of trained manpower to global market by exploiting potential of country's budding youth, said President General Pervez Musharraf.He said youths below 19 years age form about 55 to 60 percent of country's 160 million people."This burgeoning young population is a challenge and opportunity as well," PPI reported Wednesday quoting Musharraf as saying here.He said government's main policy thrust is aimed at job creation and poverty alleviation through harnessing potential of its human resource, skilled young workforce is declining in industrialized states which projects Pakistan as a foremost source of skilled workers with far lesser wages as compared to advanced countries.The President said it would be a challenge for the government to provide skill training to about 90 million youngsters who would be looking for jobs in local market in next few years.This challenge has to be met through concerted policy of providing technical education and vocational training in sync with demands of industry.General Musharraf said focus to hire skilled labour is now shifting towards East which offer services on much less wages as compared to Western industrialized states and Pakistan stands to benefit from this opportunity.-- BERNAMA
