Web Desk<\/strong>: The days of unskilled Pakistani workers securing jobs in the UAE are coming to an end as the country rapidly transitions toward a high-end, skilled labor market, said Pakistan\u2019s Ambassador to the UAE, Faisal Niaz Tirmizi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe now need to focus on training accountants, IT professionals, bankers, AI experts, physicians, nurses, and pilots for the UAE job market,\u201d Tirmizi emphasized during an interview with Gulf News<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He highlighted the growing demand for skilled workers in the UAE, noting that Pakistan has a significant opportunity to tap into this trend by prioritizing skills development. \u201cIf we train our people in these high-demand sectors, they can secure high-paying roles with salaries starting from Dh20,000 and above\u2014a stark contrast to the Dh1,000 and above that unskilled workers currently earn,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shifting Job Market Trends<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambassador Tirmizi discussed the evolving job market trends, his plans, and the strengthening ties between Pakistan and the UAE. He stressed that the partnership between the two nations extends beyond labor exports, focusing on creating jobs and attracting Emirati investments to Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe UAE has always been a key trading partner for Pakistan in the MENA region. Now, our goal is to attract more investments from the Emirates and ensure Pakistan\u2019s economic potential is recognized globally. This is a partnership that spans generations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting Global Demands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tirmizi underscored the importance of skills development to meet global demands. \u201cToday\u2019s world is driven by IT expertise, accounting, and healthcare,\u201d he said, urging Pakistan to train its next generation to excel in these fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He pointed to the rising global demand for physiotherapists and nurses, not only in the UAE but worldwide. \u201cWe need world-class nursing facilities in Pakistan,\u201d he said, envisioning a future where Pakistani professionals are sought after globally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aviation industry is another sector where Pakistan holds a competitive edge, Tirmizi revealed. He shared that discussions are underway with international aviation colleges to establish pilot training schools in Pakistan, offering aspiring aviators affordable training opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remittances on the Rise<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambassador Tirmizi also highlighted the significant increase in remittances from the UAE to Pakistan, which surged by 53% in just six months, reaching $4.5 billion. \u201cOur goal is clear: to surpass the $9 billion mark in remittances by the end of this fiscal year in June,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Tirmizi, this achievement is a testament to the hard work of Pakistani expatriates from all walks of life. \u201cBlue-collar workers, crane operators, security guards\u2014they all contribute to this remarkable success,\u201d he said with pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remittances have become one of Pakistan\u2019s primary sources of foreign exchange, even surpassing the value of exports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Vision for the Future<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Tirmizi envisions a future where Pakistan not only meets the needs of its people but also establishes a new identity on the global stage. \u201cWe need to position Pakistan as a tourist destination, promote higher education, and strengthen our role in the global economy,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He concluded by emphasizing the UAE\u2019s strategic importance as a partner in realizing this vision, given its economic strength and geographic location. \u201cThe UAE is a crucial ally in helping Pakistan achieve its goals and carve out a prominent place in the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
