Five-month IT Internships offered
Punjab province has opened registrations for the second cohort of its Provincial head IT Internship Programme, offering young information technology graduates paid, hands-on experience in leading tech companies as the territory intensifies efforts to build a digital workforce aligned with global need.
Launched under the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), the drive places selected candidates in private-sector IT firms for five months, where they gain practical exposure to industry tools, workflows and scheme environments.
Participants will receive a monthly stipend of Rs50,000 during the internship, which representatives say is intended to backing skill progress while reducing early-career financial pressure.
Representatives stated the programme is designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements at a time when the country's technology sector and freelancing market are both expanding rapidly. The goal, they further stated, is to produce job-ready graduates who can either enter employment or transition into independent digital work.
Eligibility criteria require applicants to have completed a degree in information technology, computer science or a related field within the past four years. Candidates must hold a valid national identity card and Punjab domicile.
Representatives clarified that the stipend is subject to performance and submission of an attested degree. Learners expected to graduate are not eligible, nor are applicants from unrelated disciplines.
