KARACHI: Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah has reiterated that sustainable development can only be achieved when challenges and opportunities are addressed collectively, stressing the need for a collaborative approach to governance and progress. Speaking at an event in Karachi, he underscored the continued support of the people of Sindh for the Pakistan Peoples Party, attributing the province’s electoral backing to the party’s commitment to public welfare.
In a move aimed at improving employment accessibility, the chief minister announced the launch of a job portal designed to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers. Urging individuals to upload their credentials promptly, he emphasized that the initiative would create a streamlined mechanism for recruitment, benefiting both the workforce and the business community. He called on private sector entities to actively share job vacancies on the platform, ensuring that employment opportunities reach a wider audience.
Elaborating on government hiring procedures, Murad Ali Shah detailed the structure of recruitment through the portal. Applicants for lower-grade positions, from grades 1 to 4, would be able to apply directly, while recruitments for grades 5 to 15 would be conducted through competitive examinations administered by IBA Sukkur. For higher-grade positions, from grade 16 and above, the Public Service Commission would oversee the hiring process, with plans to integrate its system with the newly established job portal.
The initiative reflects the Sindh government’s broader strategy to enhance transparency and efficiency in the job market, ensuring that employment opportunities are allocated on merit. With unemployment remaining a key concern, the chief minister’s announcement signals an effort to modernize recruitment processes and create a more accessible system for aspiring professionals across the province.
