Federal Govt Announces 60,000 Internships And 100,000 Laptops For Young People
Federal Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives Ahsan Iqbal has announced a nationwide internship program for young academics. The program will offer 60,000 paid internships to eligible candidates.
He went on to say that the federal government is offering scholarships to students admitted to the top 25 universities in the world, while 100,000 college students are being given laptops to help them develop digital skills.
He pointed out that during the previous administration of the PML-N, 1 million laptops were allocated to young people to develop a freelance culture in the country.
Last month, the Planning Ministry also announced 20,000 scholarships for unemployed college graduates at an international summit on higher education and human resource development in Islamabad.
These scholarships are made available to students from remote areas under the Youth Development Initiatives (YDI) recently launched by Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif.
