Pakistan Association for Software Houses (P@SHA) is the IT and ITeS industry’s only licensed trade body in Pakistan. It is the only official advocacy voice for the industry at all levels.
Of the 25,000+ IT students that graduate every year, only 30% have the skills required to be immediately employed by the industry. For this reason, developing human resource talent to service local and international clients is crucial to the growth of IT exports of the country.
As a strategic partner with a Joint Venture/Consortium of 22 of Pakistan’s leading IT companies, and in partnership with Pakistan Software Export Board (PSEB), we are conducting capacity-building bootcamps in the three cities of Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad with the aim to train 4,000 fresh graduates and young IT professionals in five technologies/subject areas, namely MERN Stack Development, Web Engineering, Mobile App Development, Cloud Solution Architecture, and Software Quality Assurance.
These professionals will be trained by experts from the industry through a hands-on approach to ensure that they are ready for immediate integration into the industry upon graduation. The bootcamps are expected to be executed from September to February, 2022.
For the implementation of this impactful project, we are seeking to onboard a variety of skilled and dedicated team members. Successful candidates will be hired on a contractual basis for one year, with the potential for extension upon completion of the project.
