uConnect Technologies

A small business owner in Gilgit-Baltistan just took her shop online — not after graduating, but during week eight of a twelve-week course. That’s the kind of outcome that tells you a training program is working. We’re at the halfway point of the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission NAVTTC-supported Digital Marketing & SEO Batch 3 at the uConnect Skill Development Program. Students are running live Meta campaigns. Auditing websites for SEO and finding genuine fixes. Building WordPress sites that real customers visit. uConnect Skill Development Program, a flagship initiative of uConnect Technologies, has been contributing to youth skill development, employability, and technology-driven career growth since 2014. For over a decade, uConnect has helped young people in Gilgit-Baltistan develop in-demand digital skills, access better opportunities, and build sustainable careers in the digital economy. Month three starts soon. We’ll let the work keep speaking.

Not everyone starts with easy access to opportunities. Fareed Iqbal’s story is a reminder that with practical skills and the right platform, progress becomes possible. Mr. Fareed Iqbal started at the uConnect Skill Development Program (USDP), where he built real skills in motion design, color grading, and visual storytelling. After completing the 3-month video editing course, he moved into a dedicated internship at uConnect Technologies and kept improving through hands-on work. That learning turned into a professional role. Today, Fareed works as a Video Editor at uConnect Technologies and also offers his services in the global online freelance marketplace. The path exists. USDP is where it starts. If you are serious about building a digital skill and turning it into income, applications are open. #uConnect #USDP #GilgitBaltistan #SkillDevelopment #VideoEditing #LearnInternEarn

Last week at uConnect, we kicked off the National Vocational and Technical Training Commission NAVTTC Batch 3 Digital Marketing Orientation at our ZS Plaza office. Out of 150 NTS-qualified applicants, 60+ passionate young minds earned their place through interviews. These courses are completely free, built on merit, and designed for the youth of Gilgit-Baltistan. This is more than training, it’s a doorway to skills, confidence, and real opportunity. The journey has begun, and the future is being built right here.
