🎯 Cyber Graduates, Rewired for Impact, Pakistan’s Industry Speaks, Academia Listens

From 23 to 27 June 2025, at Serena Islamabad, a groundbreaking curriculum development activity unfolded—sponsored by the European Union and GIZ, and implemented by the British Council. This time, it wasn’t academia leading the charge. It was us, the industry stepping in to reshape the future of cybersecurity education for Bachelor’s and MS-level students.

We didn’t suggest tweaks. We demanded transformation. The curriculum was built around real-world needs, embedding the urgency, depth, and precision required to produce graduates who are not just employable, but irresistible to global firms.

If the British Council succeeds in embedding this curriculum through approval in the upcoming Curriculum Revision by HEC, it will be a game-changer. Taught with honesty and integrity, this program will produce fearless, formidable candidates, the kind international employers lust to hire, not just consider.

This is how we close the gap between education and employment. This is how we build a Pakistan where graduates don’t just join the digital economy, they lead it.

🔐 Cybersecurity isn’t just a skill, it’s a shield for the future. And we’re building it where it matters most.

Thrilled to have been part of a transformative initiative from 14th to 18th July at the Polytechnic Institute Building, Thorgu, Skardu, Gilgit-Baltistan, where we collaborated to co-create an NVQF Level 4 Cybersecurity Curriculum, a one-year program designed to empower youth with globally relevant, future-ready skills.

This milestone initiative is powered by the European Union and GIZ, implemented by the British Council, in collaboration with NAVTTC. It’s more than curriculum development, it’s a strategic investment in digital resilience, inclusive growth, and national progress.

By conducting this activity in Skardu, we’ve taken a bold step toward decentralizing opportunity and ensuring that talent from every corner of Pakistan has access to cutting-edge education. The global relevance of this initiative lies in equipping our youth with future-ready skills, fostering innovation, and creating pathways to new opportunities.

Grateful to witness firsthand how international collaboration, local commitment, and visionary planning can converge to shape a brighter, safer, and more connected future for our youth.

📡 If implemented with integrity and passion, this curriculum will not only build technical capacity but also unlock global pathways for our next generation of cybersecurity leaders.

When the skies open, the wounds of a nation deepen.

Pakistan is once again reeling from the fury of nature. Torrential rains, sudden cloudbursts, and flash floods have carved devastation across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi. Streets turned into rivers, homes washed away, lives lost in silence. The images are harrowing, but the silence that follows is even more deafening.

In KP, villages have been swallowed by mud and water, leaving families stranded and futures uncertain. In Karachi, the city’s fragile infrastructure collapsed under the weight of the storm, exposing years of neglect and mismanagement. Islamabad and Rawalpindi, often seen as symbols of order, were not spared either. The water rose, and with it, the question, how many more warnings will we ignore?

We speak of climate change, but rarely of climate responsibility. We mourn the victims, but seldom empower the survivors. The theory of “what bleeds leads” may drive headlines, but it must also drive action. These disasters are not isolated events, they are symptoms of systemic failure, in planning, in policy, and in public awareness.

On Tuesday, 19th August 2025, I spoke on Roze TV’s morning show about the roots of these disasters and the urgent need for collective action. Prevention is possible, but only if we act as a united society. We need resilient infrastructure, community-led preparedness, and a culture that values sustainability over short-term gain.

This is not just a story of rain, it is a story of reckoning. And if we do not listen now, the next storm will not ask for permission.

Attended the EU TVET IV Report Launch on May 29, 2025, hosted by British Council Pakistan. What an insightful event! The report’s data is crystal clear: Pakistan’s tech sector is brimming with potential, but we need to act fast to bridge the skills gap. Here’s what stood out to me:
Digital Demand is Soaring: Pakistan’s IT exports hit $3.2 billion in 2024, marking a 24% YoY increase. But only 10% of our graduates are employable. Focusing on high-demand skills like AI, cloud computing, and cybersecurity could help us reach the $25 billion export target by 2027.
Women’s Participation is Way Too Low: Women hold just 16% of Pakistan’s ICT jobs. We need women-only Centres of Excellence and remote work opportunities. It’s not just about fairness—it’s about unlocking massive economic potential.
Our Curriculum is Outdated: Fewer than 10% of TVET institutes offer competency-based training in emerging technologies. Short-term courses (6–8 months) in Python, Flutter, and data analytics could align education with market needs.
Industry and Academia Need to Talk: Mandatory apprenticeships and internships could bridge the gap between education and employment. The report highlights the need for active industry advisory boards in universities.
Infrastructure is Holding Us Back: 40% of people in GB and Balochistan lack reliable internet. A “Hub and Spoke” model with central Centres of Excellence and satellite digital hubs could democratize access to training.
If we tackle these issues head on, aligning education with market needs, empowering women, and investing in infrastructure, we’re not just talking about growth. We’re talking about creating 650,000+ new jobs by 2028.
This report isn’t just data, it’s a call to action. Let’s turn these insights into impact.
