The GET Placement program is making national headlines after the deployment of 600 young engineers across key public and private sector institutions, a move being presented as a significant investment in Pakistan’s engineering human capital.
Designed as a structured, house-job–style initiative, GET Placement is fully funded by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) and aims to bridge academia and industry by providing graduates with hands-on experience, mentorship and exposure to real-world projects. The program’s practical training model seeks to strengthen technical skills and improve employability so that entry-level engineers are better prepared for the demands of both public and private sector roles.
Stakeholders view GET Placement as a decisive shift from rhetoric to tangible reform, highlighting how targeted investment in youth and institutional capacity can translate policy into measurable impact. Officials involved express pride in the progress and describe the rollout as a key step in building a future-ready engineering workforce and supporting Pakistan’s long-term development goals.
