Khanspur: A three-day Youth Networking and Skills Capacity Building Summer Camp concluded in Khanspur, Ayubia on Sunday, bringing together young men and women from across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for an intensive programme focused on leadership, professional development and networking. Organised by the non-profit organisation CLADO in collaboration with the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Youth Affairs Department, the camp attracted participants from multiple districts seeking to enhance their academic and career prospects.
Throughout the programme, experts from various professional fields conducted interactive workshops on leadership, communication, career planning and emerging educational opportunities. Participants also received guidance on scholarship programmes and strategies for building professional networks to support their future ambitions.
CLADO Chief Executive Officer Abdur Rehman said the initiative was designed to equip young people with practical skills while creating meaningful networking opportunities that would help them succeed in higher education and the job market. Trainer Zafar Bangash noted that many young people in the province lacked access to confidence-building and exposure opportunities, limiting their personal and professional growth, and said the camp sought to bridge that gap through structured mentoring and skills development.
The organisers expressed satisfaction with the enthusiastic participation of the youth and voiced hope that similar programmes would be expanded across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to strengthen youth engagement, nurture leadership potential and prepare young people for future educational and professional challenges.
