EU to launch skills development project for Pak labour

The EU would launch a programme in Pakistan to train Pakistani labour in the skills required for the European markets, a senior official said, speaking at the 'Safe Migration Pathways for Aspiring Pakistani Migrants' dialogue on Wednesday. "There is a shortage of skilled manpower in the European markets. To meet the needs of the European labour market, the EU is launching a skills development programme for the technical skills of the Pakistani manpower," Philip Oliver Gross, the deputy head of the EU delegation in Pakistan, said. He, reaffirming the EU's commitment to structured migration partnerships with Pakistan, said that migration, when managed properly, benefits both migrants and host countries. Acknowledging the challenge of skills mismatch, he said while Europe has labour shortages, most Pakistani migrants do not meet the required skill levels. He further said the EU's Talent Partnership Programme aims to align Pakistani workforce training with European market demands. He said the EU has allocated €20 million (2021-2027) to support vocational training, migration governance, and reintegration programmes.
