The Prime Minister’s Youth Programme (PMYP) has launched a new Digital Skills Training of Trainers initiative aimed at equipping young professionals with expertise in emerging technologies and preparing them to train others across Pakistan.
In the first phase, 200 young trainers will receive online instruction in artificial intelligence, e-commerce, digital marketing, and data analytics to strengthen their technical and teaching capabilities.
Speaking at the launch event, PMYP Chairman Rana Mashhood Ahmed said the initiative aligns with the Prime Minister’s vision of a “Digital Pakistan”, emphasizing the government’s commitment to empowering youth with globally relevant digital skills.
The programme is being implemented in collaboration with the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC), Uni Services International, and ITMC China, ensuring international exposure and quality training standards.
Upon completion, participants will earn joint certifications from Pakistani and Chinese institutions, qualifying them as certified trainers. These trainers are expected to transfer advanced digital skills to thousands of young learners nationwide, helping build a skilled workforce for Pakistan’s growing digital economy.
