Overview
High Impact Skills Bootcamps for new and emerging ICT technologies are being established as a pilot project in Pakistan. These bootcamps are being organized in collaboration with service providers using the Train the Trainer (TOT) concept. The initial locations for the bootcamps are Islamabad and Karachi.
Institutions and academia often face challenges in updating their curriculums and allocating resources promptly to meet the fast-growing demand for emerging technologies like Cloud Computing, Data Science (AI, ML), Cybersecurity, and Blockchain. Experts in these fields have made specific recommendations to enhance the government's efforts in improving the knowledge and skills base. The development of such skills will not only benefit the local industry but also create opportunities for exporting high-value services to international markets with high demand.
The Bootcamp Service Provider is currently offering a standardized coursework and methodology that can serve as a valuable guideline for universities and other educational institutions. This guidance aims to train students for future job roles in Software Development, particularly in the domains of Cybersecurity, Cloud Computing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Blockchain technology. These efforts are targeted for the next decade, spanning from 2020 to 2029.
High Impact Skills Bootcamp Program Aims:
- Offer advanced and intensive training in highly sought-after technologies that have significant demand and provide excellent employment opportunities both nationally and internationally.
- Support the enhancement of knowledge and skills in the IT industry, academia, and public sector IT organizations, aiming to uplift the overall competency levels.
- Implement the "Train the Trainer" concept, focusing on developing a pool of experts and intellectuals in emerging technology fields. This approach aims to create a sustainable cycle of knowledge transfer and skill development, empowering trainers to effectively disseminate their expertise to a wider audience.
