In a significant move toward digitizing Pakistan’s youth, the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industries (FPCCI) recently hosted a briefing on the Alkhidmat Bano Qabil Free IT Courses.
The session featured Prof. Dr. Hafeez ur Rehman, President of Alkhidmat Foundation Pakistan, as the Chief Guest. His presence highlighted a shared vision between the humanitarian and business sectors: empowering the next generation with high-demand digital skills.
A Strong Endorsement from the Business Community
The event wasn’t just a meeting; it was a powerful show of solidarity. Executive members and office bearers of the Chamber actively participated, praising the Bano Qabil initiative for its practical approach to education.
Key takeaways from the business community’s response:
Widespread Appreciation: Leaders recognized the program as a vital tool for national progress.
Commitment to Support: The business community assured full cooperation to help expand the program nationwide.
Industry Integration: Discussions focused on how these IT-trained youths can fulfill the growing digital needs of local industries.
Empowering the Digital Entrepreneurs of Tomorrow
During his address, Dr. Hafeez ur Rehman emphasized that Bano Qabil is more than just a training program—it is a launchpad for self-reliance and entrepreneurship.
“By equipping our youth with modern digital tools, we aren’t just giving them jobs; we are giving them the ability to create jobs,” noted Dr. Hafeez ur Rehman.
The program aims to transform young Pakistanis into skilled freelancers and tech-savvy professionals who can contribute to the country’s economy from their own desks.
Why This Partnership Matters
When the industrial sector (FPCCI) and the social sector (Alkhidmat) align, the impact is doubled. This collaboration ensures that the courses offered are aligned with market demands, ensuring that students move straight from the classroom into the workforce or start their own ventures.
