Founder Institute Islamabad
One of the famous entrepreneurial training programs opened its institute in Islamabad recently. It was already operating in Karachi for quite some time. Founder Institute is present in 50 countries across the globe. In addition, it has launched 1650 companies besides creating over 15,000 job opportunities.
On trial basis, Founder Institute conducted a program in the capital of Pakistan a year ago. Since it was an exploratory semester, 300 participants took part in the program. The idea was to test the market and see whether the chances of the program in Islamabad will be successful.
During the month of November last year, the institute started the first semester. Unsurprisingly, 28 founders enrolled for the program out of which 11 successfully completed the semester and graduated.
The ultimate success of exploratory and the first semester tempted the Islamabad chapter of Founder’s Institute to continue its effort to discover more talent by opening the admissions for the second semester.
