Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi inaugurated the Digi Skills program aimed at training one million of the youth through online modules in Islamabad today.
Ignite — previously the ICT R&D Fund — will be overseeing the program that has already floated the RFP for the private partners for the execution of this project.
DigiSkills program is said to be the brain-child of Anusha Rehman, who has tasked Yousaf Hussain, CEO of Ignite, to execute the program in best possible manner.
While addressing the official launch ceremony of the DigiSkills, the Prime Minister said that his government has built motorways, ports, airports and established power plants but the advancement in the information technology sector is the most important contribution in the last five years.

According to HEC, Pakistan is producing between 10k-20k IT graduates every year. There are between between 100k-200k freelancers from pakistan who are registered with upwork and other freelancing sites. So the number of freelancers could be 200k-250k max but where will 1 million freelancers come from? Numbers should be realistic and defendable instead of pulling numbers out of a hat. Otherwise, such exaggeration results in loss of credibility and trust.
my dear every thing is possible in pakistan

I think there is no need for it. As after placing on FATF blacklist in june (I read in today’s Dawn), all freelancers will die on their own. No marketplace, no international cards..0/0
