A few months ago, these students walked into uConnect with ambition but no formal training in the skills the market demands. Last week, they walked out certified in Digital Marketing, Full Stack Development, Web Development, and Accounting and Bookkeeping.
uConnect has been training young people in Gilgit-Baltistan and connecting them with real jobs since 2014. Over 10,000 students have come through our programs. This ceremony added the latest group to that number โ and it was a significant one.
This was our first graduating batch as an official NAVTTC High Tech training partner in Gilgit-Baltistan. Mr. Zeeshan Ali, Regional Director NAVTTC Gilgit-Baltistan, joined us as the chief guest at our ZS Plaza office to hand over certificates. That partnership matters because it means nationally recognized, high-quality free tech skills training is now accessible here.
But certificates are not the point. What comes next is. Some of these graduates are already working as interns โ managing finances, building websites, running digital campaigns, and developing applications for clients across Pakistan and beyond. That is the real outcome we work toward โ not just training, but livelihoods.
Thank you to National Vocational and Technical Training Commission (NAVTTC) for backing this mission. Thank you to our trainers who refused to let standards slip. And to the graduates โ the hard part was showing up every day and doing the work. You did that. Now go prove what Gilgit-Baltistan is capable of.
