Moreover, he also mentioned the Chief Minister\u2019s focus on developing the ecosystem of international accreditations, targeting global job placements, resulting in a higher remittance flow and improved living standards which he emphasized would come from globally recognized certifications in IT courses by industry leaders such as Google, IBM, Meta, Microsoft, etc. Hence, improving the country’s freelance landscape and increasing opportunities for the workforce in the global market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chairperson appreciated the PSDF’s exemplary track record of imparting training and skill development among the youth of Punjab, stating: "PSDF’s dedication to excellence and innovation, combined with its strategic public-private partnerships, plays a pivotal role in equipping Punjab’s youth with the skills necessary for a prosperous future. By leveraging these strengths, we can create a truly future-ready generation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special focus on internationally recognized certifications in Hospitality, Healthcare workers, and IT along with developing soft skills components including language and personal grooming will be the areas to drive manpower export growth potential for the youth of Punjab. These combined efforts will provide opportunities for over 30,000 people. For 14 years, PSDF has been a beacon of hope and progress for Punjab\u2019s youth, leading the charge in skills development with remarkable achievements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
