LAHORE:Punjab Skills Development Fund (PSDF) has launched the ‘Skills for Minorities (SFM) 2023-24’ programme, a transformative initiative under the banner of UMEED.
This project aims to empower minority youth in Punjab by providing free skills training in 15 high-demand trades, opening doors to lucrative income-generating opportunities for 2,700 students in all districts of Punjab.
UMEED, a flagship initiative by PSDF, is dedicated to the skills training and integration into income generation of the vulnerable and marginalised segments. With a keen focus on minority youth, the ‘Skills for Minorities’ programme identifies and addresses the specific needs of this hard-to-reach group.
Understanding the unique challenges faced by minority youth, PSDF aims to skill them in demand-driven trades. This initiative is designed to create both formal and self-employment opportunities in dedicated classes. By focusing on education and skill development, PSDF seeks to empower youth and uplift their socio-economic status and fostering financial independence.
