CPEC Brings More Employment Opportunities

In Baluchistan, the CPEC jobs for engineers will greatly increase, with the CPEC projects in Baluchistan becoming
operational in Turbat, Lasbela, Dera Murad, and Winder Industrial Estates. In Sindh, there will be CPEC job openings
in fields such as the Chinese Industrial Estate, Textile City, and Marble City. These CPEC projects will ensure a high
number of CPEC jobs offered by the functioning of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor.

Due to the potential operation of the China Pakistan Economic Corridor, there will be millions of employment
opportunities in the industrial field, because the demand for many employees to run the China Pakistan Economic
Corridor projects will rise. The China Pakistan Economic Corridor jobs will include jobs of all levels, whether
administrative, marketing-based, manual labor, construction, and jobs involving the daily running, operation, and
management of the industries setting up by CPEC.

What Fields does CPEC Cover?

Both countries have agreed to promote a “1+4” pattern of economic cooperation, featuring a central role of the CPEC
and four key areas including the Gwadar port, energy, transportation infrastructure and industrial cooperation.
Pakistan and China will explore and expand the cooperation fields to:

 Finance
 Science and technology
 Tourism
 Education
 Poverty elimination
 City planning and more

Benefits of the CPEC

The building of this Corridor would add up a huge asset in Pakistan’s fund in the form of infrastructure. Its benefits
would already be imminent during the construction phase entailing employment generation. The CPEC project is not
only limited to the establishment of infrastructure or enhancing the importance of transportation and financing but
also aims at undertaking commercial ventures in the energy sector by focusing on coal-fired plants and coal supplies,
as well as, the hydroelectric and wind-generated power and solar plants.

Transportation Advancements
CPEC visualizes major upgrades in the transportation Infrastructure of Pakistan. About $10.63 billion would be
invested in the Transportation Infrastructure. It Includes Reconstruction of Karakoram Highway of about 806
kilometers in length, which was first opened in 1979 to the general public. Eastern Alignment construction that would
be a link to major industrial areas as Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Gujranwala, Multan, Lahore, and Sialkot. It will also be
a link to major ports of Pakistan Karachi and Gwadar.

Energy Revolution

Energy is the major focus of the CPEC. About 70% of the total budget would be spent in this
sector. With a deficiency of about 4,500 MW, Pakistanis face a routine power cut of up to 5
hours per day. It’s expected that by March 2018, 10,400 MW of energy would be generated
as part of CPEC’s “Early Harvest” projects.
