The Sindh government, in collaboration with Google and Tech Valley Pakistan, has announced over 30,000 scholarships for digital skills training in public universities across the province. The initiative, unveiled by Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah, aims to equip students with in-demand skills in AI, Cybersecurity, Digital Marketing, and more.
Shah emphasized the programme’s role in transforming Sindh into a hub of innovation while ensuring gender inclusivity, with at least 30% of scholarships reserved for women. The Google Career Certificates, which require no degree, can be completed within three to six months, offering students a fast-track to lucrative job opportunities.
