The establishment of a National Job Portal was approved by Prime Minister Imran Khan to provide opportunities to the unemployed youth of Pakistan.
During a meeting with Special Assistant on Youth Affairs Usman Darr, he gave his approval and said that the youth are a precious asset of the country and it is the priority of the PTI government to support them.
During the meeting, Usman Dar shared detailed guidelines regarding the National Job Portal and consultations are also being held for the Tiger Force. Apart from that he informed the Prime Minister about the Kamyab Jawan Programme and progress on the supply of loans to the youth.
The latest National Job Portal will facilitate the unemployed youth to find jobs in public sector and is also a part of the digital transformation that comes under the initiatives taken by the country.
The job opportunities will be mailed through a back end portal which will help the employers in hiring skillful and deserving candidates on merit keeping transparency in mind.
The National Job Portal will also provide citizens with useful and verified information regarding jobs.
