Google has said that it will fund 45,000 Google Career Certificate scholarships in Pakistan by 2024 as part of its commitment to promote artificial intelligence (AI).

Google has also launched two new initiatives to support women and independent contractors in the nation.

Pakistan has the third-largest freelancing economy in the world, thus it is imperative to maintain the competitiveness of the nation's freelance talent, particularly in the ever changing digital landscape of today.

This year, Google and the Pakistan Freelancers Association (PAFLA) collaborated to create a programme that will assist Pakistan's freelancing community in addressing issues related to soft skills like communication and personal branding. 50,000 or more PAFLA freelancers may gain from the programme, which is taught by Google specialists.

Together with its longstanding partner Tech Valley, Google has developed the Career Kamyabi programme, which promotes gender parity in the workforce and seeks to foster an inclusive and encouraging work environment for women by providing equal opportunities for employment and professional growth. The goal of the programme is to inspire and empower women to enter and succeed in the workforce.

By putting women in touch with possible employers, the program—which currently has the backing of more than 50 of Pakistan's top firms—helps establish economic prospects for them.
