Officials say formalizing the portal will widen youth access to jobs by centralizing vacancies, skills tools, employer links, live counselling, application tracking.

Overview

  • The Information Department decided Thursday to convert the pilot into an ongoing government programme after a high-level meeting chaired by Information Minister Sharjeel Inam Memon.
  • Officials reported the portal has logged more than 4.8 million visits, with over 113,000 registered job seekers and 670 companies on the platform.
  • The site currently lists about 11,100 active vacancies, has posted 20,800 jobs since launch, and has received more than 419,000 applications.
