LAHORE: Descon Technical Institute (DTI) has partnered with Meezan Bank under its ‘Meezan Justuju’ corporate social responsibility programme to expand access to vocational and technical training for underserved youth.

Under the agreement, the bank will fund training in selected high-demand trades, enabling candidates to gain industry-relevant skills. DTI will identify priority areas, enrol participants and deliver competency-based training leading to certification.

The collaboration also includes support for financial inclusion and awareness, alongside technical instruction, to help trainees transition into employment or self-employment.Both organisations said they would track participant progress and aim to improve pathways to sustainable livelihoods through skills development aligned with market needs.
