Therefore, this large scale national Digital Skills (DigiSkills) Training Program, which was conceived by the Minister of IT and Telecom, has been launched across the country, to offer one (1) million trainings in the future of work using technology. Virtual University of Pakistan has been selected to execute this mega training program under the auspices of Ministry of Information Technology and Telecom through Ignite- National Technology Fund (formerly National ICT R&D Fund). The DigiSkills Program is aimed at equipping our youth, freelancers, students, housewives, professionals, etc. with knowledge, skills, tools & techniques necessary to seize the opportunities available internationally in online marketplaces as well as locally to earn a decent living.

The program aims at not only developing key specialized skills, but also imparting knowledge about various freelancing and other employment and entrepreneurial opportunities available internationally and locally. Due to limited employment opportunities, it is essential for upcoming workforce to have necessary knowledge and abilities to grab such opportunities. This is envisaged to be achieved through a national level program, which will train target audiences in freelancing and other specialized skills listed below:


The DigiSkills Program is aimed at equipping our youth, freelancers, students, professionals, etc. with the knowledge, skills, tools & techniques necessary to seize the opportunities available in online job market places internationally and locally, to earn a living or to supplement their income.

Our educated youth, women and others are an immense and mostly untapped resource; this program aims to realize that potential so that the individuals and their community may reap the benefits; ultimately the growth will be represented in a flourishing national economy.


DigiSkills Program is for YOU if you are

  • a student who wants an early start in practical life,
  • a housewife who wants to help increase her household income,
  • a freelancer who wants to enhance his/her skillset to start earning more from freelance markets,
  • a professional who wants to open new horizons and offer his/her services to the international markets,
  • a job seeker but 9-to-5 job is not your piece of cake and you want to be your own boss.


Apart from above mentioned people, this program is also for every qualified Pakistani who is committed, dedicated and sincere in helping out the national economy while earning a good decent income for your household.

There is hope that an advanced digital marketplace of workers in Pakistan will facilitate e-commerce, allowing goods manufactured in Pakistan to be sold both domestically and internationally. Everything from technical skills to leather good and furniture can be marketed and exported using digital skills. Bringing women and young girls into this digital marketplace will not only boost the size of the domestic economy, but increase competitiveness, address growing demand, and allow for more families to meet their education, health, and lifestyle needs.

The program aims to increase:

  •  👪 Number of individuals working as freelancers in the country
  •  ⏰ Number of hours worked per freelancer
  •  💼 Earnings per hour or per project for freelancers
  •  💲 Household incomes
  •  🔑 Financial inclusion
  •  🏰  IT exports
  •  📶 Number of experts in specialized skills

  • Pakistan is the world’s fourth largest provider of online freelancers with estimated registered number of online freelancers ranging in several hundreds of thousands. Most of the work done is for international clients; therefore money earned by them is brought into the country, mainly as foreign remittances. While accurate data on money brought by freelancers is not available, estimates range from $ 500 Million to $ 1.3 Billion annually.

    This amount is just a fraction of the country’s potential as, with its large population, increasing internet connectivity, broadband penetration, young and educated youth, thousands of IT graduates and million-plus enrolled university students, Pakistan can increase the number of freelancers manifold. This will help bring invaluable foreign exchange into the country, and more importantly, reduce unemployment as the number of fresh graduates passing out every year is a lot more than the number of new jobs created.
