ISLAMABAD: The government has extended the application deadline for its nationwide free digital skills training initiative designed to help young people develop online earning capabilities, officials announced.
According to government sources, the programme, launched by the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission in partnership with the Prime Minister’s Youth Programme, seeks to train the youths in high-demanded digital skills, including freelancing and artificial intelligence among others.
The officials also revealed that the application period for the programme has been further extended to June 21, 2026, allowing more youths an opportunity to take advantage of the training programmes.
