Under the scholarship program, thousands of students will receive access to internationally recognized professional certifications in some of the world’s fastest-growing industries.

- IT Support
These certifications are expected to improve students’ employability and help them compete in the global digital workforce. Industry experts believe that professional certifications can provide a significant advantage for graduates seeking careers in technology and business sectors.
In addition to student scholarships, the Sindh government has also started promoting AI awareness within public institutions. More than 40 cabinet members, advisers, and senior government officials recently participated in specialized AI training sessions conducted by experts from Google for Education and Tech Valley Pakistan.
Speaking at the event, Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah highlighted the growing importance of emerging technologies in governance and public administration. He noted that Artificial Intelligence can help improve decision-making, enhance public services, and increase efficiency across government departments. However, he emphasized that technology should be used as a support tool rather than a replacement for human judgment.
The launch of the Google Gemini for Education Corner represents another milestone in Sindh’s broader digital transformation efforts. Educational institutions across the province are increasingly adopting technology-focused initiatives to prepare students for future careers shaped by AI, automation, and digital innovation.
