Let me tell you about Arif. 24, from a small town near Faisalabad. Matric pass, but no job prospects. Spent days scrolling LinkedIn, dreaming of IT gigs — but courses? Rs. 50,000 he didn't have. Then he stumbled on NAVTTC's free training.
Three months later: Certified in web development, Rs. 2,000 stipend in pocket, and a freelance client paying Rs. 30,000/month. "I was skeptical," Arif admits. "Free? Really? But now I'm teaching my brother." That's the NAVTTC Free Courses 2025-26 — not handouts, but launchpads for Pakistan's youth.
Under the Prime Minister's Youth Skills Development Program (PMYSDP), NAVTTC is rolling out 100,000 seats in everything from AI to auto mechanics. Feb 2026 batch is live — with global certs that open doors to Gulf jobs. If you're 18-35 with Matric, this is your shot. Let's break it down.
Who Gets the Free Ticket? Your 2025-26 Eligibility Breakdown
NAVTTC isn't for couch potatoes — it's for hustlers ready to learn. No fancy degrees needed; just grit and basic education.
You're Eligible If:
- Pakistani citizen, aged 18–35 (prime earning years)
- Minimum Matric (10th grade) — no degree required
- Unemployed or underemployed (students welcome too)
- Any gender, province — but priority for rural/female
- Ready for 3-6 months commitment
By the way — no income test. If you're jobless in Karachi or farming in Balochistan, you're in. Last year, 60% of seats went to rural youth. Leveling the field, one skill at a time.
Real story: Sana, 28, from Sialkot — married, three kids, no job after Matric. Enrolled in digital marketing. Six months later: Running a Facebook shop, earning Rs. 45,000/month. "NAVTTC gave me wings," she says. Wings you can have too.
