The Pakistan Software Houses Association for IT and ITeS (PASHA) is now hiring for a Skills Development Intern position based in Islamabad, opening up an opportunity for recent graduates looking to gain hands-on experience within the country’s IT industry association. According to the job posting, the intern will provide support in executing internal tasks related to PASHA’s skills development programs, assist in drafting critical report reports, presentations, and communication material, and liaise with internal and external stakeholders on behalf of the organization, including contacts within the government development sector and the education sector. The role is positioned as a broad support function that touches on several aspects of PASHA’s operations rather than being narrowly focused on a single task or department.
Beyond stakeholder liaison and reporting support, the intern will be responsible for collecting, cleaning, and organizing data for monitoring, evaluation, and reporting purposes, along with coordinating meetings and events, which includes sending invites, setting agendas, and taking minutes during those sessions. The role also involves making follow up calls and sending reminders to ensure stakeholder participation stays on track, as well as maintaining online records and organized documentation to support the association’s broader knowledge management efforts. Taken together, the responsibilities suggest the position is designed to give an intern exposure to the administrative and coordination backbone that keeps a national industry association’s programs running day to day.
On the eligibility side, PASHA is looking for candidates who have completed a bachelor’s degree, or who are in their final year of one, in a relevant field such as Management Sciences, Social Sciences, Education, Public Policy, or IT. The organization is also asking for strong organizational skills with excellent attention to detail, effective verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to manage time efficiently while handling multiple tasks simultaneously, reflecting the multi-pronged nature of the role itself. Proficiency in Microsoft Office tools including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint is required, with familiarity with Google Workspace and other data tools considered a plus, alongside a general willingness to learn, take initiative, and contribute proactively within a team environment.
Interested candidates have been asked to send their resume and cover letter to careers@pasha.org.pk, with PASHA noting that salary will be offered based on experience and qualifications rather than a fixed rate disclosed upfront in the posting. The organization has directed applicants to visit its website for the full job description, including the complete skill requirements for the role, suggesting the flyer itself is meant to serve as an initial screening point rather than a comprehensive breakdown of what the position entails. For students or recent graduates in Islamabad with a background spanning management, social sciences, education, or public policy, the opening offers a chance to work directly within one of Pakistan’s most prominent IT industry bodies at a moment when the sector continues to expand its footprint across the country’s broader digital economy.
