More than 240 women in Quetta have enrolled in vocational courses under the Balochistan government’s newly launched Youth Vocational Skills Training Programme, which aims to train over 720 young people in the city.
The initiative focuses on technical and vocational skills that match modern industry needs, with a particular emphasis on women. Officials intend the courses to help trainees find work or start their own enterprises, ease unemployment and build economic self-reliance.
What the Quetta courses cover
Current offerings include beauty services, hand embroidery and other vocational trades. Training is hands-on so that participants can move into jobs or set up small businesses after they finish.
By concentrating first on Quetta, the provincial government is testing a model that links classroom practice with everyday earning options for young people, especially women who often face fewer formal job pathways.
What the province expects
The Balochistan government expects the programme to improve employment prospects, strengthen women’s economic independence and encourage entrepreneurship among youth across the province.
If the Quetta intake of more than 240 women grows toward the city-wide target of over 720 trainees, the scheme could widen access to marketable skills beyond a single neighbourhood or trade.
