Final Year Project

Project Title

Entrepreneurial Potential of Female Students in Vocational Training Centres of Karachi

Description

The project is a group project and aims to look into the different ways that female students coming from low-income backgrounds, studying in Vocational Training Centres can monetize their skills to earn a sustainable income without having to depend on underpaid, unsustainable, corporate work. We aim to design an intervention, which will help guide and enable them to work towards building their own businesses. Our design intervention will help educate them about business in a way that business schools often fail to.
