Usman Dar, Shafqat Mahmood Discuss Projects Related to Youths

ISLAMABAD: The meeting between Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Youth Affairs Usman Dar and Federal Education Minister Shafqat Mahmood held in Islamabad on Monday and the projects regarding youths were coming under discussion.

The meeting apprised the government planned to impart technical and vocational training to one hundred and fifty thousand youth in demand driven trades in the next two years.

It was also observed that fifty per cent of these training would focus on high-end labour sectors, whereas the remaining fifty per cent would target conventional vocational training in less privileged areas like Balochistan and FATA.
