The Governor added that by integrating quality education with modern skill training, youth are being prepared for a dynamic job market.
He urged the youth to utilize their potential, contribute actively to national development, and play their role in the progress of the province and the country. He said that through proper education, training, and empowerment of youth, a future will be ensured that is not only educated but also dynamic and aligned with 21st-century requirements.
