Punjab Government Launches Global IT Certification Program – Free International IT Certificates for Students
The Government of Punjab has launched a special initiative
called the Global IT Certification Program. This program aims to help
young people improve their digital skills and gain internationally recognized

increase their chances of getting better jobs in Pakistan and around the world.
