ISLAMABAD: (APP) Pakistan's Information Technology (IT) sector has got new industry association called TECH which has been formed to fill substantial gap between industry and academia.
Over 10,000 IT graduates enter job market every year yet IT companies still struggle to find suitable talent. The reason is lack of a cohesive training and mentoring plan to enable these graduates to hit the ground running.
The problem is not isolated to young graduates either. The fast pace of technology means professionals have to remain abreast with current developments.
This is exactly the aim of TECH Pakistan (Technology Association in Pakistan), established few months ago. It is a powerful team and an association of top IT & Technology professionals along with top market leaders who are associated with all technology sectors in Pakistan.
Growing at a steady pace and attracting high profile personnel from across the industry, it is set to be a major player in IT industry of Pakistan.
Till date, TECH has not only reached every university possible but also mentored a number of startups, partnered up strategically with other associations and programmes, provided training & workshops, arranged technology meet-ups and participated in exhibitions and events.
Working at policy level while making efforts to address grassroots is what makes TECH Pakistan unique in its mission.
The notable members of TECH's advisory board include Mir Muhammad Ali Khan, President TECH Pakistan, Salim Ghauri Qaiser Abbas, Ashraf Chaudhary, Fasieh Mehta and Nadeem Malik.
In his comments on Monday, Chairman TECH Pakistan, Masroor said IT sector of Pakistan is emerging to be a dynamic world where people need to change themselves with changing trends in technology.
"I feel Pakistan has a lot of potential and can be one of the top countries having best IT industry," he said.
