Industry Experience

    Skilled Pakistan

    Driven by a passion for bridging the digital divide, I conceptualized and launched “Skilled Pakistan,” a youth empowerment initiative designed to teach essential digital skills to underserved students and young adults across Punjab who had no prior training in this domain. To amplify our message and attract participants, I developed and managed the initiative’s social media platforms, strategically crafting content that raised awareness about digital literacy and successfully reached over 1,000 individuals throughout the province. Recognizing the importance of collaborative impact, I partnered with four local organizations and NGOs, working closely with them to expand our program’s reach and secure vital resources that enhanced the learning experience for our participants. At the heart of the initiative, I designed and delivered comprehensive training modules in graphic design, video editing, and social media management, directly training more than 50 students and equipping them with practical, job-ready skills. Adding further credibility and depth to the program, I secured mentorship from Assistant Professor Dr. Tanveer Ahmad of the Department of Communication for Development at Punjab University, whose expert guidance enriched our curriculum and inspired both myself and our participants to strive for excellence in the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
