The Tech Lab initiative, a collaborative effort between ConsulNet Corporation, Engro, and WeConnect Foundation, is an innovative effort aimed at making the tech industry in Pakistan stronger while creating gender parity and financial inclusion among youth. The project’s phased approach strategically trains 100 students: Phase I delves into Frontend Development for 50 participants, followed by Phase II offering advanced tech tracks. Comprising 96 hours of technical skill-building and 24 hours dedicated to core life skills, the program aims to provide participants with a well-rounded skill set. Commencing in September 2023 with its first cohort, Tech Lab not only focuses on skill development but also emphasizes the importance of essential life skills. Hosting the Tech Lab Speaker Series featuring professionals from Engro emphasizes the dedication to enriching the learning experience and enhancing employee engagement.
The Tech Karo project, a collaboration between Engro and Circle Women’s Association, stands as a model for imparting crucial tech skills, particularly targeting girls from underserved communities in Pakistan. This innovative approach not only offers training but actively places graduates into esteemed organizations, creating inclusivity and empowerment within the skilled workforce. Our courses like the E-Commerce program received over 270 applications in 2023 and witnessed 57 students graduating, with 70% being female graduates. 23 students from this program were successfully placed. Additionally, the Digital Literacy Program received over 300 applications in 2023, leading to 96 students graduating, with 91% being female graduates. These programs equip students with essential online business skills and digital marketing knowledge, empowering them for future opportunities. Additionally, 7 life skills sessions conducted in collaboration with P&G further enrich the holistic development of the participants
