Govt announces Rs. 50,000 monthly stipend for unemployed engineers

ISLAMABAD: The federal government has launched a special program to support young engineers in Pakistan as part of its efforts to retain talent.

The plan provides new engineering graduates with immediate work opportunities because they will no longer experience jobless times and international work requirements.

Ahsan Iqbal, the Federal Minister and engineer, announced that the government plans to introduce a program that will provide fresh graduates with one year of practical development project training throughout Pakistan.

The program will provide 10,000 engineers with a monthly stipend of PKR 50,000, which enables them to acquire practical skills through expert training.

The five-year initiative aims to benefit around 50,000 engineers who will gain access to real-world projects while it simultaneously strengthens Pakistan’s development sector.

The program supports the Prime Minister’s youth initiatives, and it will help increase employment rates while keeping skilled workers in the country.
