QUETTA: Balochistan’s youth will be provided with e-commerce training to help them find jobs, Parliamentary Secretary Science and Technology, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Dr Rubaba Khan Buledi said on Friday.
Speaking at a podcast, she deplored that most people were unfamiliar with e-commerce due to a lack of basic awareness and training opportunities in the province.
“The government has increased the e-commerce transaction limit from $5,000 to $25,000 per month,” she said, adding that the initiative had helped increase the foreign exchange in the sector from $214 million to $396m.
Dr Rubaba noted that about one million freelancers in the country were not registered anywhere, though the Ministry of Information Technology had recently started their registration.
