Digitize Bilingual Curricula
Transform the Auto-Electrician curriculum into Urdu and English, enriched with interactive simulations.
Upscaling & Digitisation of Vocational Education in Pakistan
The Ba-Ikhtiyar Jawan project is designed to transform Pakistan’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector by embedding artificial intelligence, multimodal learning, and international collaboration.
As a proof of concept, the project focuses on digitizing and upscaling the Auto-Electrician trade, a profession with high demand in Pakistan and across Gulf labor markets. By leveraging AI-powered language technologies and adaptive learning pathways, the initiative aims to make vocational education more inclusive, accessible, and industry-aligned.
Our initiative combines cutting-edge AI, global collaboration, and practical skill-building to create a scalable, future-ready training ecosystem.
Urdu/English course outlines enriched with interactive simulations, sourced from CTTIs, TEVTA, and German partners — bridging theory and hands-on practice.
From an Urdu Small Language Model to German–English machine translation and a personalized recommender system, our AI backbone adapts learning to each individual.
Text, voice, diagrams, and video lectures — including content from CTTI, German experts, and local innovators — to strengthen practical skills.
Optimized for rural and resource-constrained environments, ensuring no learner is left behind.
Partnerships with institutions in Germany, UAE, and Saudi Arabia to align training with international standards.
