At the heart of our mission lies the belief that every student deserves the chance to thrive. Recently, our Executive Director, Bilal Khan, engaged in a significant discussion with Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan, Chairman of the Prime Minister’s Youth Program, to align on shared goals for empowering the youth of Pakistan.
What is the Prime Minister’s Youth Program in Pakistan?
The Prime Minister’s Youth Program is a government-led initiative aimed at empowering young individuals by providing them with the tools and opportunities necessary for personal and professional growth. Launched with a vision to reduce unemployment and improve skill development among the youth, the program offers various schemes, including interest-free loans, skill enhancement training, and scholarship opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds.
Bridging the Gap Between Education and Employability
The conversation revolved around addressing the critical gap between education and employability for government university graduates. Bilal emphasized IEC’s vision of equipping young people with digital skills, freelancing expertise, and entrepreneurial know-how tools that can upgrade lives and spark economic growth.
Leveraging Platforms for Maximum Impact
Rana Mashhood Ahmad Khan echoed this sentiment, voicing his commitment to leveraging the Digital Youth Hub, an online platform designed to connect young individuals with resources, job opportunities, and mentorship programs. The hub acts as a space for students and graduates to access information about government initiatives, scholarships, freelancing courses, and skill development programs.
Together, they mapped out a plan that includes scholarships to make learning more accessible, mentorship sessions to guide aspiring professionals, and a broader platform to showcase talent across the country.

This collaboration represents a critical step in creating pathways to success for thousands of graduates. At IEC, we’re excited to turn this vision into action, fostering a future where every student can realize their full potential.
