The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) has partnered with the Hazza Institute of Technology to provide internationally recognized vocational training under the Benazir Hunarmand Programme.
Chairperson BISP, Senator Rubina Khalid, met with Hazza Institute’s Board Member Muhammad Saleem Ahmad Ranjha and Managing Director Azhar Ikbal Sindhu at BISP Headquarters on Wednesday to discuss a pilot project for skills development.
The initiative will train an initial batch of 50 beneficiaries in construction, hospitality, and healthcare, along with soft skills including workplace ethics, behavior, and personal hygiene.
Senator Rubina Khalid emphasized the need to link skill training with job opportunities at home and abroad. She said the programme aims to meet global standards so beneficiaries can support their families and contribute to the workforce.
Later, the BISP chief visited the Hazza Institute of Technology, where she reviewed training modules and interacted with students learning trades such as plumbing, electrical work, welding, cyber technology, driving, and Korean language.
