Introduction
In today’s rapidly changing world, traditional job markets often fail to provide enough opportunities for the growing number of graduates. Pakistani universities produce thousands of graduates every year, yet many struggle to find meaningful roles in the public and private sectors. The education system often reinforces a narrow job-seeking mindset, creating a limited view of success. However, the true potential lies not in fitting into pre-existing jobs, but in developing an entrepreneurial mindset focused on productivity and value creation.
This two-day Faculty Development Workshop on Developing and Teaching the Entrepreneurial Mindset is designed to address this critical gap by empowering faculty members to instill entrepreneurial thinking in their students.
