PSDF, icod.ai partner to boost digital skills

The Punjab Skills Development Fund (PSDF) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with icod.ai, a no-code, AI-powered technology platform, to enhance digital skills training for graduates of the PSDF’s Mein Digital programme. The partnership, signed by PSDF Head of Digital Programmes Akbar Hussain and icod.ai CEO Ammar Aslam, aims to align training curricula with current AI development practices and conduct bootcamps for up to 25 graduates.

The training will focus on website development, digital forms, and automated business workflows. The collaboration is seen as a significant step towards strengthening Punjab’s digital skills ecosystem and improving the employability of young people in the digital economy. The pilot phase will later expand to incorporate freelancing and sustainable technology-enabled income opportunities for rural women trained under the Mein Digital initiative.
