Tech Valley Pakistan, in partnership with Pakistan Army’s Headquarters 33 Division and the Government of Balochistan, has delivered a three-day digital skills training programme for 64 students across three Brigade Headquarters in Balochistan, extending the organisation’s AI and digital literacy initiative into one of Pakistan’s more geographically and infrastructure-challenged provinces. The programme builds on an earlier pilot conducted in Awaran, using those learnings to refine the delivery model and scale the reach of practical digital training to students who would otherwise have limited access to structured technology education.
The curriculum covered Google Gemini for Education, Gemini Notebook, and Canva for Education, with practical hands-on sessions spanning artificial intelligence fundamentals, prompt engineering, artificial intelligence-powered research techniques, and professional design using digital tools. The programme was designed with a specific objective beyond classroom skill-building: to equip students with tools and capabilities they can continue using independently after the training concludes, enabling them to learn, create, and explore digital economy opportunities on their own rather than requiring continued institutional support to make use of what they have learned.
The involvement of Pakistan Army’s HQ 33 Division as a delivery partner reflects a model of civil-military collaboration in digital education that allows training to reach communities in Balochistan through established military infrastructure and networks, particularly in areas where civilian institutional reach remains limited. With 64 students trained across three Brigade Headquarters in a single three-day engagement, the programme demonstrates that structured, practical artificial intelligence and digital literacy training can be deployed effectively in settings outside the conventional urban classroom environment.
Tech Valley’s ongoing expansion across Balochistan is part of its broader mandate to ensure that Pakistan’s youth outside major cities have access to the same quality of digital skills development being delivered in provinces with more established technology education ecosystems, recognising that equitable access to artificial intelligence and digital tools is a foundational requirement for meaningful national participation in the digital economy.
