Punjab Minister for Information and Culture Azma Bokhari has said that the economic empowerment of young people is among the top priorities of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. The CMIT Internship Programme is a practical manifestation of this vision, providing thousands of young people with opportunities to acquire professional training and hands-on experience in the information technology sector.
In a statement, Azma Bokhari said that under the four-month internship programme launched by the Punjab government, each intern was also provided with a monthly stipend of Rs50,000. The initiative aims to equip young graduates with modern IT skills while enabling them to become financially independent. The Information Minister said that registration for the third phase of the CMIT Internship Programme is currently underway. The new phase will provide more graduates with opportunities to receive professional training in the IT sector and earn through their skills.
Azma Bokhari said that the Punjab government was taking practical measures, rather than merely making announcements, to secure a better future for the youth.
