Computer Networking
Networking has become one of the most attractive career profiles among
candidates. From the basics of Routing and Switching to Cloud Networking,
the advancements happening in the networking domain are beyond one’s
imagination.
This is a special course designed to address unemployment in the youth. The
course aims to achieve the above objective through hands on practical training
delivery by a team of dedicated professionals having rich market/work
experience. This course is therefore not just for developing a theoretical
understanding/back ground of the trainees. Contrary to that it is primarily
aimed at equipping the trainees to perform commercially in a market space in
independent capacity or as a member of a team.
The course therefore is designed to impart not only technical skills but also soft
skills (i.e interpersonal/communication skills; personal grooming of the trainees
etc) as well as entrepreneurial skills (i.e. marketing skills; free lancing etc.).
The course also seeks to inculcate work ethics to foster better citizenship in
general and improve the image of Pakistani work force in particular
Main Expectations:

of the Job search techniques in the local as well as international job
markets (Gulf countries). Awareness around the visa process and
immigration laws of the most favored labor destination countries also
form a part of this module. Moreover, the trainees would also be
encouraged to venture into self-employment and exposed to the main
requirements in this regard. It is also expected that a sense of civic
duties/roles and responsibilities will also be inculcated in the trainees to
make them responsible citizens of the country.
iii. A module on Work Place Ethics has also been included to highlight the
importance of good and positive behavior in the workplace in the line
with the best practices elsewhere in the world. An outline of such
qualities has been given in the Appendix to this document. Its
importance should be conveyed in a format that is attractive and
interesting for the trainees such as through PPT slides +short video
documentaries. Needless to say that if the training provider puts his
heart and soul into these otherwise non-technical components, the
image of the Pakistani workforce would undergo a positive
transformation in the local as well as international job markets.
To maintain interest and motivation of the trainees throughout the course,
modern techniques such as:
• Motivational Lectures
• Success Stories
• Case Studies
These techniques would be employed as an additional training tool wherever
possible (these are explained in the subsequent section on Training
Methodology).
Lastly, evaluation of the competencies acquired by the trainees will be done
objectively at various stages of the training and a proper record of the same
will be maintained. Suffice to say that for such evaluations, practical tasks
would be designed by the training providers to gauge the problem-solving
abilities of the trainees.
A good motivational lecture should help drive creativity, curiosity, and spark
the desire needed for trainees to want to learn more.
The impact of a successful motivational strategy is amongst others commonly

visible in increased class participation ratios. It increases the trainees’
willingness to be engaged on the practical tasks for a longer time without
boredom and loss of interest because they can see in their mind's eye where
their hard work would take them in short (1-3 years); medium (3 -10 years) and
long term (more than 10 years).
As this tool is expected that the training providers would make arrangements
for regular well planned motivational lectures as part of a coordinated strategy
interspersed throughout the training period as suggested in the weekly lesson
plans in this document.
Course-related motivational lectures online link is available in Annexure-II.

deemed suitable but only those cases must be selected that are relevant and
of a learning value.
The Trainees should be required and supervised to carefully analyze the
cases.
For this purpose, they must be encouraged to inquire and collect specific
information/data, actively participate in the discussions, and intended solutions
to the problem/situation.
Case studies can be implemented in the following ways: -
i. A good quality trade-specific documentary ( At least 2-3
documentaries must be arranged by the training institute)
Learning Skills to Learn how the individual components of the Bitcoin protocol make the
