MTB Foundation and UCEP Bangladesh joined forces to launch a major skills training program for struggling young people. The organizations signed their deal on July 9 at MTB Foundation headquarters in Dhaka. They plan to train 1,200 disadvantaged youth between ages 17 and 35 over the next three years. The new institute will open in Mymensingh and offer courses that actually lead to real jobs. Top executives from both groups attended the signing ceremony to show their commitment.
The program offers training in five popular trades that employers desperately need filled. Students can learn electrical work, tailoring, beauty services, baking, and graphic design during six-month courses. Each program runs for 720 hours to make sure graduates have solid skills. The training follows government standards and comes with official certificates that employers recognize. Job placement help comes built into the program to get graduates working fast.
MTB Foundation Chairman Rashed Chowdhury and other banking leaders met with UCEP officials to seal the partnership. The groups believe young people need practical skills to escape poverty and build better lives. They designed the courses to match what local businesses and international employers want. The project targets youth who struggle to find decent work without proper training. Leaders emphasized that graduates could find opportunities in nearby Eurasian countries where skilled workers earn good money.
