CM Punjab Hunarmand Program
CM Maryam Nawaz has launched the Hunarmand Program, offering a legitimate, government-backed route to employment in Saudi Arabia. By enrolling in free 3-to-6-month courses like plumbing, electrical work, or welding, you will receive a Rs. 7,500 monthly stipend while you train.
This is your chance to transform from an unskilled laborer into a certified professional earning in foreign currency. Applications close on December 26, 2025, with classes starting January 1st. Don’t sit idle—visit the TEVTA portal today, secure your admission, and get ready to fly.
What is Hunarmand Program?
CM Punjab Hunarmand Program has officially launched, and it is targeting the sector where jobs are actually available: Construction. Here is the full breakdown of how to grab this opportunity before the deadline expires.
The Deal: Learn, Earn, and Fly
Let’s be real. In cities like Multan, Gujranwala, and Mianwali, thousands of young boys are working as unskilled laborers for daily wages. This program aims to turn that “Mazdoor” into a “Skilled Technician.”
The Offer includes:
- Free Training: 3 to 6 months of professional courses by TEVTA.
- Monthly Stipend: You will receive PKR 7,500 per month during training to cover your bike petrol or bus fare.
- The Saudi Jackpot: This is the game-changer. High-performing students (those who actually learn the work well) will be shortlisted for employment opportunities in Saudi Arabia.
Which Skills Are included in Hunarmand Program?
The government isn’t teaching random courses. They have selected specific trades that are in high demand in the Gulf construction market right now.
6-Month Courses:
- General Electrician: (Huge demand in Saudi residential projects)
- Plumbing: (Sanitary and piping work)
- Tile Fixer: (Finishing works)
3-Month Short Courses:
- Mason (Raj Karigar)
- Shuttering & Scaffolding
- Welding (Basic/Advance)
- Building Painter
- Steel Fixer (Sarya Master)
Why This is Better Than an Agent
We all know the story. You sell your mother’s gold or take a loan to pay an agent for a visa. You reach Saudi Arabia and find out you have no skills, so you end up doing hard labor in the desert sun for low pay.
This program flips the script. You go as a Certified Professional. When you have a TEVTA certificate and actual skills, your salary bracket in Saudi Arabia automatically jumps up. You go with dignity.
Is It Available in My City?
TEVTA has smartly set up centers in key districts where technical talent is abundant but opportunities are low. The training is currently available in:
- Gujranwala (The hub of skilled labor)
- Multan
- Bahawalpur
- Mianwali
- Bhakkar
Note: Even if you are from a nearby village, it is worth traveling to these centers for this 3-month opportunity.
Hunarmand Program Registration Deadline
Don’t be lazy on this one. The timeline is very tight.
- Last Date to Apply: December 26, 2025
- Classes Start: January 1, 2026
You have barely 10 days left. If you miss this, you might have to wait another year.
How to Apply for Hunarmand Program
You don’t need to stand in long queues. The process is online and simple.
- Visit the Portal: Go to the official TEVTA website:
www.tevta.gop.pk. - Select Course: Choose the trade you are actually interested in (don’t just pick random).
- Upload Docs: You will need your CNIC and basic school certificates (Middle/Matric).
- Visit GCT: If the internet is an issue, go to your nearest Government College of Technology (GCT) in the listed cities, and the staff there will help you.
Final Advice: This Rs. 7,500 stipend is helpful, but don’t join just for the pocket money. Join for the Saudi visa prospect. If you work hard for these 3 months, you could be sending home riyals by mid-2026.
Share this with a friend who needs a job. Good luck!
