During the visits she met students, observed practical sessions and acknowledged the growing technical confidence among trainees.
Ms. Qamar praised the institutions for delivering industry-relevant education that prepares youth for the job market, noting that AI training and cybersecurity programmes are equipping young Pakistanis with skills in high demand.

The minister said the government is expanding similar centres across the province to create employment opportunities, foster innovation and enable Balochistan’s youth to take leading roles in the country’s digital transformation. She reaffirmed that quality education and practical skills are fundamental to building a strong, self-reliant Pakistan and stressed continued support for programmes that scale AI training and technical vocational education in the region.
