THE ISSUES FACING ENGINEERS IN PAKISTAN
Unemployment and Low Salaries
With a Growing Population, there are limited Unemployment and Low Salaries
opportunities for our engineers, with around 100,000 unemployed young engineers in the market
Not Competitive on the Global Market
Skills and Certifications are not up to date, which makes our engineers less competitive on the global stage
International Acceptability and Image Concerns
The struggle to align with global standards impacts the international acceptability and professional image of Pakistani engineers, restricting their career prospects outside Pakistan.
Underappreciated and Undervalued
Despite their vital role in national development, engineers in Pakistan frequently find themselves underappreciated and undervalued, which affects their motivation and growth.
Outdated Curriculum
There is a need for improved education quality and curricula to produce engineers who are well-equipped for modern, multidisciplinary projects.
