The Pakistan Software Houses Association (P@SHA), in collaboration with the British Council and the EU's Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Sector Support Programme, is promoting stronger industry-academia linkages in Gilgit-Baltistan (G-B) to improve graduate employability and bridge the skills gap in the IT sector.
The partnership aims to leverage the untapped digital talent in the region, which holds the potential to contribute significantly to national IT exports and local job creation. However, the success of this initiative hinges on addressing critical infrastructural challenges, particularly the need for reliable, uninterrupted high-speed internet connectivity.
P@SHA emphasizes the importance of stronger government-academia-industry collaboration to align university and TVET curricula with the evolving demands of the IT export sector. The event featured panel discussions with key stakeholders, including Muhammad Zohaib Khan and Dr Shoab Ahmed Khan, highlighting the association's commitment to regional IT development and grassroots infrastructure.
