Summary

  • Punjab Skills Development Fund and FPCCI signed an MoU in Lahore to build industry-led training and employment pathways under the upcoming Punjab Industrial Clusters Program.
  • The framework ties skills programs more closely to employer demand by identifying emerging sectors, changing occupational needs and future workforce requirements, while increasing private-sector input into training design.
  • The partnership will channel that coordination into internships, apprenticeships, work-based learning and career exposure initiatives to improve transitions from training into jobs.
  • FPCCI, which represents chambers and trade bodies across 170 sectors, is also expected to help widen women's access to technical, industrial, digital and export-oriented roles.
  • The deal adds seminars, workshops, policy dialogue and research to support evidence-based workforce planning, with the broader aim of boosting industrial growth, exports and long-term employment in Punjab.
