Exploring jobs in IT sector

Online outsourcing can contribute to reduction of unemployment problem in the country Significantly

State Minister for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Junaid Ahmed Palak recently said in Natore that at least one member of every family in the country would be developed as an IT professional. The minister’s optimism is heartening. The way IT sector is developing in the country, time is not far away that a significant number of youth in the country will get job opportunity. It is the IT sector that has emerged as a boon for the vast community of youth in the country. What is needed is exploration of the sector fully and effectively. 
Online outsourcing can contribute to reduction of unemployment problem in the country significantly. The opportunity for getting government jobs is very limited in the country. After completion of education, thousands of youths are crowding the job market every year. But how many of them are lucky enough to get the same? Private sector is also not expanding in the country in an encouraging manner to provide increasing number of people searching for jobs. In the circumstances, educated youths in their droves are bearing the brunt of joblessness. Steeped in frustration, many youths are going abroad spending huge sums of money in search of greener pastures. Lives of these youths in foreign lands are full of grim struggle; many lead the lives of slavery. Besides, many ill-fated ones return to their homes being cheated by unscrupulous manpower agents and human traffickers. 
There are immense possibilities for the youths of the country to become self-reliant by engaging themselves in various income-generating activities.  Educated youths can be self-reliant through online outsourcing. It can be an excellent opportunity for the young people to get rid of the scourge of unemployment. They can also create employment opportunities for other unemployed youths. It is very important to enhance skill on ICT to become good freelancers for earning foreign currency. The youths can come forward with their education, particularly good command on English language, to expand the horizon of employment opportunities to live a life with dignity.
There is no age bar for online outsourcing. People from 17 years to 70 years, including housewives and girls, can be engaged in this job. The people connected with outsourcing should be imparted adequate training under government and private initiatives. The government should strengthen the ICT sector to achieve the goal. The young entrepreneurs should be provided with bank loans on easy terms and conditions and other logistic supports. In this way they can improve the economic conditions of their families remarkably.
