The 6th eRozgaar Centre at the University of Punjab, Jehlum Campus under the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) and Youth Affairs, Sports, Archeology & Tourism (YASAT)'s joint project, "Chief Minister's eRozgaar Programme" will be inaugurated on Friday by the founding Vice Chancellor of Information Technology University (ITU), Chairman PITB and Advisor to CM Punjab Dr Umar Saif
It will be the second Centre being opened in North Punjab after UET, Taxila. Centres at University of Gujrat, Government College Women University Faisalabad, UET, Taxila and COMSATS, Sahiwal have been successfully launched by PITB. These centres are active and classes have begun. The VC University of the Punjab Professor Dr Zaffar Mueen Nasir will also sign a MoU on this occasion.
PITB registered 33,105 applications from the young graduates on the basis of merit. Selected candidates will be given three months training in three phases for freelance self-employment in technical, non-technical and creative design areas at 40 training centres by high profile trainers. Among these, five centres are dedicated for female candidates.
In the first phase 10,000 candidates selected on merit through a transparent process, will be trained in three different batches during the current year. Since the concept and awareness of earning through the internet and taking freelancing as a serious profession is very new in the smaller cities of Punjab, the Programme has taken upon itself to guide and groom graduates from a variety of backgrounds. The training will enable the youth to generate income approximately from Rs 40,000 to Rs 80,000 per month while working from home.
