P @SHA in collaboration with PSEB has extended the deadline for its national IT Skills Survey to April 28, 2025. The survey, which serves as a critical tool for mapping the skillsets and professional capabilities across the country’s information technology workforce, is now open for broader participation from industry stakeholders, employers, and professionals.
As Pakistan steadily rises as a key player in the global technology landscape, the demand for future-ready talent has intensified. With tech-driven innovation shaping every aspect of modern business, understanding the evolving needs of the industry has become essential. The IT Skills Survey aims to do just that—gather detailed feedback from those who are directly contributing to and impacted by the sector’s performance. The insights gathered through this initiative are expected to guide policy makers, academia, and training institutions in redesigning curricula, launching targeted training initiatives, and forming industry-aligned strategies that support sustainable growth.
P@SHA and PSEB have underscored the importance of this survey as not just a data collection exercise, but a shared responsibility. By participating, IT professionals, tech entrepreneurs, HR leads, and educators can collectively shape the future direction of the country’s tech ecosystem. The call for feedback is not limited to those in the major urban centers; professionals from across Pakistan are encouraged to lend their voice to ensure the data reflects the diversity of the workforce and the variety of skill gaps present in different regions and domains.
The urgency behind this initiative is evident. Pakistan’s digital economy is poised for expansion, but skill shortages and mismatches pose a significant threat to realizing its full potential. Whether in software development, data science, cybersecurity, cloud computing, or UI/UX design, the demand for specialized skills is growing faster than the talent pipeline can provide. The results of this survey will help identify those bottlenecks and unlock avenues for accelerated upskilling, re-skilling, and strategic workforce development.
With the deadline now extended to April 28, 2025, stakeholders have a renewed opportunity to engage with this meaningful effort. The survey is accessible via a direct link—https://lnkd.in/d5B_6hD7—and is designed to be concise yet comprehensive, ensuring that it captures the realities and aspirations of the professionals who are at the heart of Pakistan’s digital transformation.
This initiative represents a proactive step toward aligning Pakistan’s IT talent with international benchmarks and market needs. It is a moment to reflect on how collaborative action between government, industry, and academia can drive change. As Pakistan builds its reputation as a tech destination, the voices collected through this survey will help determine how prepared the country is to compete, adapt, and lead in an increasingly digital global economy.
