Good news for matric and intermediate pass young people! Nestlé Pakistan has announced the Nestlé Pakistan Apprenticeship Program 2026 for its factories in Sheikhupura, Kabirwala, Islamabad and Port Qasim. The last date to apply is 8 November 2026.
This is a paid, on-the-job training programme. Selected apprentices will get practical training inside one of the country’s biggest food companies, along with a monthly statutory stipend. No job experience is required, and both men and women can apply. Candidates with disabilities are also encouraged to apply and can attach their disability certificate with the online form.
The training runs from 1 to 3 years, depending on the trade. After completing it, apprentices get a recognised certificate and real factory experience, which makes it much easier to find a good job in the industrial sector.
