Standard Chartered Bangladesh and UCEP Bangladesh under a recent collaborative project secured employment for over 1000 youths in Gazipur. 

Kicking off in June, 2023, the initiative has been providing skills training, mid-level management, and entrepreneurship development opportunities to participants through various training programmes. 

Over a duration of two years, the projects will serve a total of 2,000 beneficiaries. As of September, 2024, the project has secured self or wage employment for 1146 beneficiaries. 

This represents 73% of target, exceeding the scheduled target for the period, ahead of project completion in 2025. The project was launched under Futuremakers by Standard Chartered, the Bank's flagship global community initiative, says a press release.

Bitopi Das Chowdhury, Head, Corporate Affairs, Brand & Marketing, StanChart said: "The skill-development programmes, cocreated in consultation with the public and private sectors, will not only prepare the youth for gainful employment, they will also increase the supply of skilled workforce for the industries of Gazipur, a key industrial hub. We are proud to work with UCEP Bangladesh in providing thousands of youth with the skills they need to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities."
