Packages Convertors Limited is offering a structured three-year Apprenticeship Training Program running from 2026 to 2028 at its Korangi Plant in Karachi. Five positions are available across four industrial trades under the Apprenticeship Ordinance 1962. If you have Matric with Science and are between 16 and 24 years old, the deadline to apply is 14 May 2026.
JOB OVERVIEW
This is a formal apprenticeship program conducted under the Apprenticeship Ordinance 1962, which means it carries legal standing and follows a structured training framework. The program runs for three years and is based at the company’s manufacturing facility in the Korangi industrial area of Karachi. Trades covered include mechanical fitting, general machine operation, electrical work, and printing operations.
Only five seats are available in total across these four trades, making this a competitive intake despite the relatively accessible education requirement. The advertisement specifically notes that candidates applying for a diploma will be given preference, and that each applicant may only apply for one trade. These are working-floor, hands-on industrial roles — not office positions.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
Education: Matriculation is the minimum requirement. Candidates must have passed Matric with 2nd Division in the Science group, with Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry as subjects. Candidates holding a relevant diploma or diploma will be given preference.
Age: Minimum 16 years, Maximum 24 years.
Experience: Not specified in source advertisement.
Domicile / Nationality: Not specified in source advertisement.
Gender: Not specified in source advertisement.
Other Requirements: Each applicant may apply for one trade only. The trade being applied for must be clearly marked in the application. Only shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview.
HOW TO APPLY
- Confirm you meet the age requirement: between 16 and 24 years.
- Confirm your education: Matric with 2nd Division in Science (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry) or a relevant diploma.
- Decide which single trade you are applying for. You may not apply for more than one.
- Prepare your application and clearly mark the trade name on it.
- Send your application via email to: apprenticeship.recruitment@packages.com.pk
- Submit before the closing date of 14 May 2026.
Always verify the latest instructions on the official advertisement before applying.

Our original analysis of this role
WORTH APPLYING?
Conditional — worth it if you are a young Karachi resident with Matric Science looking to enter industrial work through a formally recognized apprenticeship program.
COMPETITION LEVEL:
Very High — only 5 seats are available across four trades in what is a well-known private industrial company. Even with a Matric-level entry requirement, expect strong competition from a large pool of applicants in Karachi.
PAY AND BENEFITS:
The source advertisement does not mention any stipend, allowance, or compensation. This is a significant gap. Applicants should directly confirm with the company whether any financial support is provided during the three-year program before committing.
RED FLAGS:
No stipend or pay information is mentioned anywhere in the advertisement, which is a serious concern for a three-year commitment. The advertisement also does not specify gender eligibility, domicile requirements, or what happens after the apprenticeship ends. With only 5 seats available and no clarity on post-program employment prospects, applicants are going in with limited information.
HIDDEN BENEFITS:
The program operates under the Apprenticeship Ordinance 1962, which gives it a formal legal structure — not all private sector training programs carry this. Korangi is one of Pakistan's major industrial zones, and hands-on training at an established manufacturing facility can carry real weight on a resume for technical and trade careers.
BEST FOR:
Young Karachi-based candidates aged 16 to 24 who have completed Matric with Science or hold a relevant technical diploma and are looking to build a career in industrial trades such as mechanical fitting, electrical work, or printing operations.
