Telenor Pakistan launched Telecom Futures in collaboration with Nokia, Siemens, and TEVTA (Technical Education & Vocational Training Authority) on 30th June, 2006. The project resulted from the realization that vocational training institutes are building human capital from the lower socioeconomic classes and there is a huge opportunity to help them get their fair share from the Telecom Promise. Telenor Pakistan recognizes that there is a huge opportunity to reduce expat – reliance in the local telecom sector. However, for that to happen, the human resource available for entry–level telecom jobs has to have the right quality of training – which is often lacking.

As a first of its kind project in the industry, the Telecom Futures program aims at building on TEVTA’s Higher National Diploma in Telecom by aligning curriculum with industry expectations, providing advanced trainings and rewards to teachers, sharing specialized equipment with students, and offering internships or jobs to suitable diploma holders. The target is to create a scalable model for large-scale implementation, an education and training model that improves the level of human resource created locally, and increases the employability of vocational diploma holders.

Telecom Futures have successfully been rolled out in Lahore, Attock and Dera Ghazi Khan.
