Every year, a multitude of aspiring engineers graduate from esteemed universities nationwide, eager to contribute their skills to society. However, despite their talent and dedication, these professionals encounter numerous challenges upon entering the job market. Scarce job opportunities, coupled with a dearth of scholarships, practical experiences, internships, and exhibitions, hinder their transition into the workforce, exacerbating the struggle, particularly amidst economic inflation. Regrettably, many universities fail to offer comprehensive support, leaving graduates to navigate this daunting landscape largely on their own. The absence of substantial governmental initiatives compounds the issue, as the engineering sector grapples with a palpable lack of innovation, technology and research.
It is imperative for the government, the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC), HEC, and industries alike to recognize this crisis and take proactive measures to foster employment opportunities, cultivate innovation, and retain the invaluable engineering talent within Pakistan. Only through collective effort and commitment can we surmount these challenges and pave the way for a brighter future for our engineers and our nation.
