2 Mins read

Lahore, Pakistan, December 15, 2019; The Student Promise, one of the leading career counseling services from the UK has planned to launch its service in Pakistan. The company is building an online portal in collaboration with the “EPSN workforce group” for this purpose. This service will be completely offered via the internet where the users get access to career consultants for guidance and job placements.

 

In Pakistan, where 64% of the population is below the age of 30 and 29% belong to the ages between 15 to 29 years. Although highly educated, most of these young people lack skills and direction in their careers. That is why many recruiters in Pakistan complain that the local education system is failing badly in producing graduates who are equipped with the skills they require.

 

Unfortunately, there are no career counselors available in Pakistan other than a few institutions. It is important that students have some basic knowledge about different career paths they can take to get the desired jobs. This is not possible until they have access to a reliable career counseling service.

The Student Promise in Pakistan will work with the students to fill the skills gap between what they learn at university and what`s required by the employers. It would pave the way for the provision of better employment opportunities among youth in Pakistan. With the right skills and career choices, they will be able to serve the country in a better way.

Anyone from Pakistan can subscribe to the service which allows job seekers access to an online portal where they will be required to complete certain steps in order to be eligible to be considered for job placement. EPSN workforce group has a team of certified career consultants who will be available online to assess the skills of subscribers and suggest them appropriate career paths.

Where this service will help Pakistani students and graduates to develop essential job skills, will also help the economy by decreasing unemployment. With this initial launch, the company has further plans to work with corporate companies to help them find the best talent.
