A young Pakistani entrepreneur has earned a rare honour of being selected by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA, for a week-long MITx Entrepreneurship Bootcamp on his innovative idea of bridging the gap between education and employment in Pakistan.
The MIT has selected as many as 50 innovators from around the globe for the quality of their ideas through a rigorous process of selection and has invited them to spend an intense week immersing in both the study and practice of innovation-driven entrepreneurship beginning from Aug 18.
Young entrepreneur Imran Ali Rajput, who has earned his MS in Total Quality Management from the Punjab University, has been selected for his innovative idea “Inovadors” – a 21st century entrepreneurial venture providing out-of-box solutions in three most important fields in the present times – education, business and technology. He says the Inovadors envision a world in which every problem gets solved.
Explaining Inovadors, Mr Rajput says it offers Java Home Tuition Services, E-Learning platform, Solutions and Recruitment Services – free of cost – to bridge the gap between education and employment in Pakistan by equipping youth with skills and knowledge required to foster the educational standards and employability. He wants to target the students from underprivileged areas, colleges, universities and the unemployed youth.
Through his entrepreneurial venture, he plans investing in human skills and knowledge by offering Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to the college students and unemployed youth – for the first time in Pakistan.
