About Us

Welcome to the official online portal for the Chief Minister’s IT Internship Program 2025, a flagship initiative launched by the Government of Punjab. This program represents a cornerstone of the government’s strategic vision to transform Punjab into a knowledge-based economy and a hub of technological innovation in Pakistan.

We recognize that Pakistan’s youth, particularly its bright and talented graduates in Information Technology and related fields, are the nation’s most valuable asset. However, the critical gap between academic knowledge and practical industry skills often hinders their potential. The CM IT Internship Program 2025 is designed to bridge this gap directly.

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower the next generation of tech leaders by providing them with hands-on experience, professional mentorship, and a platform to launch successful careers. This is more than just an internship; it is a comprehensive launchpad for young talent, fueling both personal growth and the province’s digital transformation. Read our Privacy Policy.
