Under NAVTTC, more than 300 students finished specialized training.

The National Vocational & Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) held a visa issue ceremony in Islamabad on Monday after more than 300 students finished specialized training under the Prime Minister’s Overseas Employment Program.

Rana Mashhood Ahmed Khan, Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Program, spoke as the ceremony’s chief guest and urged foreign employment promoters to actively support the initiative and collaborate with the government to increase the number of overseas employment opportunities available to Pakistani youth.

He referred to the trainees as the nation’s ambassadors and stated that their achievement overseas will boost confidence among Pakistani laborers and be crucial in advancing Pakistan’s favorable reputation abroad.

“You will not only secure your own future but also brighten Pakistan’s name with discipline, skill, and professionalism,” he declared.

Speaking to the audience, Aamir Jan, Executive Director of NAVTTC, stated that the program’s goal was to place young Pakistanis in well-paying jobs in the global market by means of specialized training initiatives that were centered on foreign countries.

More than 300 qualified people make up this second group being transferred overseas, and he said that future programs will be even more streamlined and in line with consumer demands.

He also emphasized the difficulties Pakistani workers encounter abroad, pointing out that remittances from overseas workers continue to be a vital component of the country’s economy.

NAVTTC Chairperson Gulmina Bilal stated in her speech that the organization has experienced a significant change in recent years.

“NAVTTC’s function used to be restricted to training and regulation. “That era is over,” she declared, adding that whether training resulted in jobs was now the real indicator of success.

She underlined that the primary goal of NAVTTC was to develop competent, “plug-and-play” young people who could be deployed right away to meet the need for jobs around the world.

She asked participants to make sure that their abilities, demeanor, and behavior would represent Pakistani customs, values, and culture. She said, “Your actions will determine the demand for Pakistani workers in the future.”

She stated that NAVTTC has already started training 5,000 candidates under the initiative and that the Prime Minister had set a goal of sending 10,000 Pakistani youth overseas for work.

She acknowledged that there were early gaps because the program was new, but that frequent monitoring and outside assessments were done to keep training quality high.

The ceremony was also attended by policymakers, training officials, and graduating students.
