International Conferences
Chairman SHF, Mr. Shahid Hussain, has been a proponent of improving the state of educational institutes and its graduates in Pakistan.
The opportunity – there is the real potential to build a strong industrial base to strengthen the economy and lift millions out of poverty through earned livelihoods, export-led growth, and participation in the world economy.
The challenge – how does a resource constrained governance structure deliver educational, vocational, and employment opportunities to 1.5 million youths every year for the next 10-15 years?
To this end, he has been invited to several conferences around the globe to discuss his ideas:
