Many teaching candidates search for PWWF STI jobs 2026 and end up confused, because there are two different “STI” programmes in Punjab. One is run by the School Education Department for government schools. The other is run by the Punjab Workers Welfare Fund (PWWF) for its own Workers Welfare Schools. They have different stipends, age limits and application methods.
This guide covers only the PWWF programme: what it is, the current 2026 status, the rules from the last official advertisement, the 20 districts it covered, how to apply with the official form, and how it compares with the SED STI programme.

PWWF STI Jobs 2026: Current Status
As of 30 September 2026, the PWWF jobs page does not show a new STI advertisement for 2026. The latest STI advertisement listed there is dated 3 February 2025. So if you see posts claiming “PWWF STI jobs 2026 apply now”, check the official jobs page first.
The good news is that PWWF has used the STI model before, and the rules from its last advertisement give a clear picture of what to prepare. When a new advertisement comes, we will update this page with the new dates.
What Are Workers Welfare Schools?
Workers Welfare Schools are run by the Directorate of Education of the Punjab Workers Welfare Fund for the children of industrial workers. According to PWWF, the network has:
| Item | Figure (PWWF) |
|---|---|
| Workers Welfare Schools | 69 (65 functional, 4 non-functional) |
| Districts | 20 districts, from Rahim Yar Khan in the south to Rawalpindi in the north |
| Students | About 45,400 (43,704 workers’ children and 1,696 private students) |
| Teaching staff | 1,588 |
| Levels | Primary to Higher Secondary |
| Medium | English |
These schools provide free education along with free uniforms, books, notebooks, stationery and transport to workers’ children. That is why STI placements here are popular: the schools are well organised and English-medium.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
