In the backdrop of soaring un-employment and financial challenges it has become a paramount duty of the government to steer the educated youth of the province in the right direction. Hence, Youth Affairs and Sports Department (YASA&T) initiated its flagship project named as e-Rozgaar Training Program, which is being executed by Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB). This program aims to establish 41 e-Rozgaar Centers in 36 districts of Punjab to assist the youth in earning sustainable income and enhance their professional abilities. One of the major objectives of this program is to provide training opportunities to youth to become self-employed using internet-based freelancing. Our first (1st) women center in Punjab was lunched at Government College Women University Faisalabad on 26-May-2017.
