Hands-on Skill Development Program for Internet-based Applications to Empower Underprivileged Youth

A Collaborative Initiative by Songjog Foundation & Internet Society Foundation

Empowering the Next Generation Through Digital Skills

In today’s technology-driven advanced world, access to technology and internet-based skills is no longer a luxury, it is a necessity. However, a significant portion of underprivileged youth and women in Bangladesh lack the knowledge, training, and resources needed to thrive in the online economy.

To address this gap, Songjog Foundation, in collaboration with the Internet Society Foundation, has launched the Hands-on Skill Development Program for Internet-based Applications. This initiative aims to empower 1000+ marginalized individuals by equipping them with practical digital skills, opening doors to sustainable employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.

Project Overview

This program is designed to provide hands-on training in high-demand digital skills to 1000+ underprivileged youth and women, helping participants secure freelancing opportunities, remote jobs, and online business ventures. With a structured learning approach, expert mentorship, and real-world projects, the program ensures that participants gain the necessary experience to compete in the global digital marketplace.

By focusing on skill-building and job placement, the project contributes to economic empowerment, gender inclusivity, and digital literacy, fostering long-term socio-economic development.

The program offers four key skill-based courses, carefully designed to provide participants with job-ready expertise:

 Graphics Design – Participants will learn design fundamentals, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and different types of branding design enabling them to create professional designs for businesses, advertisements, and online content.
