Under the CM Skilled Punjab Initiative, 4,000 youth have already obtained international IT certifications, with plans to expand the program to 10,000 participants.

A six-month hospitality training program will also be launched in partnership with a British institution, ensuring job placements for graduates. Furthermore, 1,600 transgender individuals have been trained in textile work, makeup, and backstage production, receiving a monthly stipend of Rs 8,000.
