FCCI Pledges to Promote Entrepreneurship at GCWUF


We are excited to inform that Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry has pledged to facilitate Government College Women University Faisalabad (GCWUF) in enhancing the employability of its students and graduates by engaging an international IT organization. During a meeting with Vice Chancellor GCWUF Prof. Dr. Robina Farooq (T.I), Dr. Khurram Tariq President Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (FCCI) expressed concern over the poor ratio of employability and said that initially students and graduates of IT, computer science and mathematics would be provided much needed skills to get employment on the basis of their academic knowledge, agility and dexterity. He said that services of a global IT giant ???Corvid??? would be hired to harness the employability skills of the girl students. He also stressed the need to impart education of future knowledge instead of sticking to the unproductive traditional and obsolete subjects. He proposed a dedicated department of "future sciences" in the GCWUF and said that degrees would become irrelevant at global level as progressive companies need practical and proactive workforce that could also visualize future needs and propose cost-effective solutions. Worthy Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Robina Farooq explained in detail the measures taken to bring a qualitative improvement in the academic and administrative infrastructure and said that she is going to start online courses for the students living in remote areas.
