MoU inked: 300 students to get training under SAP programme

Schooling includes exchange of ideas, skills and techniques to produce technical human resource

QUETTA: Three hundred students in Balochistan will be provided complete training of Social Action Programme (SAP) modules within a year.

In this regard, the Excellence Delivered (ExD) and the University of Balochistan (UoB), through ORIC and Computer Science Department, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), to pursue a SAP training programme titled ‘SAP Learning Hub, Student Edition’.



The MoU was signed between ExD CEO Sajjad Mustafa Syed and UoB Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Javeid Iqbal.

The MoU between ExD and UoB focuses on exchange of ideas, skills and techniques to produce technical human resource capable of extending services on SAP and other such platforms. The goal of the MoU is to demonstrate that both parties recognise the value that their technical cooperation has for advancing the state of technology and technical expertise in Pakistan as a whole.

The ExD CEO said, “This MoU will be of great benefit to the students of Balochistan and we are pleased to provide them with the opportunity to take advantage of our expertise. We hope to develop the technical level and skills of our youth to succeed in their careers.”



This programme would help ensure that there’s a more skilled workforce with the necessary training and credentials to fulfil the demands of the country’s growing information technology industry, Syed added.

The UoB vice chancellor said, “The future of our students is actually the future of Pakistan. With this collaboration we are paving the way for great progress in Pakistan’s IT industry.”

UoB established in June-1970, is the oldest institute of higher learning in the province. Having realised the value of SAP as a globally recognised brand, the UoB has partnered up with ExD to create an opportunity for students to become SAP certified consultants and in this way become useful resources for the IT industry in Pakistan.



Through the MoU, ExD and UoB are looking to promote SAP through various programmes and activities.  ExD, as a SAP platinum partner will be sharing several resources with UoB ranging from; awareness seminars, academic staff for SAP modules, conducting workshops and providing Internships among other similar learning opportunities for the students of the province.

Those students who complete the training would receive a SAP Training Certification Exam while those who pass SAP Certification.
