Launched by Coach360, a platform for young talent mentoring and counseling, Skills360 is one of Pakistan’s first privately owned EdTech institutes with an emphasis on upskilling the nation’s present and future workforce. By equipping Pakistan’s youth with the necessary IT skills for a stable financial future, it seeks to empower them. The platform takes an organized approach to career growth, providing a straightforward but effective procedure that begins with choosing a course that fits a person’s career goals. Industry professionals promote learning by imparting current and relevant knowledge. Learners then participate in interactive tests to test and hone newly learned abilities.
The distinctive feature of Skills360 is its promotion of the practical application of acquired abilities, which opens doors for people to begin making money. With intentions to grow its course offerings in the future, Skills360 is starting with courses in graphic design and CMS (content management system) development at launch.
“Skills360 is not just a learning platform; it is a gateway to financial empowerment,” said Burhan Mirza, Co-Founder of Skills360, during his speech at the event. Our goal is to provide people with employable, in-demand skills that not only prepare them for the workforce but also put them on the path to stable financial futures.
Executive Director of Skills360 Kashif Hussain Shah added his thoughts and underlined the need of skill development in the current competitive environment. Our programs are developed to make sure that our students are prepared to take on the best in the world. In our ideal world, young people who possess the necessary abilities would stay in Pakistan with their families, work online, and contribute to the country’s foreign exchange revenues without having to leave.
Senior leaders from a number of organizations as well as well-known figures from the digital and educational domains, including Mr. Shahab Sarki, Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, attended the launch ceremony. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) highlighting a commitment to promoting digital skills and supporting innovation in Pakistan’s employment market was also signed during the event between Skills360 and ProByte, one of the top IT companies in the country.
