He emphasised the high demand for skilled nursing professionals in Germany and advocated for career counselling, language training, and global employment awareness through placement cells.
The Chief Minister said that there is great demand for skilled youths of Uttar Pradesh in the Middle East and South East Asian countries.
He also announced the establishment of 150 world-class ITIs in collaboration with Tata Technology to meet the global demand for skilled youth.
The Chief Minister said that there are 96 lakh MSME units in the state, emphasising the importance of connecting these units with markets and technology to enhance product distribution for exports, leading to better job opportunities with attractive packages for young individuals.
Underlining the success of initiatives like the Vishwakarma Yojana under which youths are provided training and toolkits, the Chief Minister highlighted ongoing efforts, including providing interest-free loans to entrepreneurs and a new incentive package for young entrepreneurs.
He also acknowledged the positive impact of these initiatives in making UP the second-largest economy in the country.
