BISP Launches Benazir Hunarmand Program with Free Skills Training and Monthly Stipend

The Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) has announced the launch of the Benazir Hunarmand Program, a new initiative aimed at providing free technical and vocational training to eligible beneficiaries and their family members. The program, revealed through BISP's official social media channels, also includes monthly stipends, graduation bonuses, and certificates upon completion.

According to the announcement, the training will cover a range of fields including Information Technology (IT), healthcare, hotel management, construction, beauty services, and fashion and textiles. Courses will last between three and six months, depending on the chosen discipline, and are designed to equip participants with practical skills to enhance their employability.

The program targets individuals from low-income families who are already registered with BISP or are family members of registered beneficiaries. It aims to provide both professional training and financial assistance, helping recipients develop skills that can lead to sustainable employment or income-generating activities. However, BISP has not yet specified the exact amount of the monthly stipend or the value and payment conditions of the graduation bonus.

The Benazir Hunarmand Program is part of BISP's broader efforts to support vulnerable populations through education and skill development. By offering free training in high-demand fields, the initiative seeks to bridge the skills gap and improve livelihood opportunities for underprivileged communities. The program also includes employment-related opportunities and professional development support to help graduates transition into the workforce.

Eligible individuals can register for the program through BISP's designated channels, although further details on the registration process are expected to be shared soon. The initiative underscores BISP's commitment to empowering low-income families by providing them with tools to achieve financial independence.
