Educated youth should preferably start their own businesses instead of wasting their time and energy in search of jobs, said Riaz-ul-Haq, senior vice president of Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI). He was addressing the concluding session of a one-day training program for Start-ups and Management of Retail/Distribution Businesses.
It was jointly organized by FCCI and SMEDA (Small and Medium Entrepreneurs Development Authority), he appreciated the SMEDA for organising a series of training programs and workshops to equip youth with business related skills and expertise and said the FCCI was also organising meetings and seminars for the orientation of its members on different subjects and challenges. He said the FCCI has inked memorandum of understandings (MoUs) with all the six universities housed in Faisalabad. The objective of the MOUs is to further strengthen industry-business-academia linkages for the benefit of the national economy. Riaz-ul-Haq said the FCCI was regularly inviting eminent business tycoons to deliver lecture and share their experience with FCCI members. It will encourage the young and new entrants in the field of business to work hard and expedite their efforts feverishly to follow the footprints of important businessmen. He asked the participants of the program to get their National Tax Number (NTN) and become FCCI members to fully participate in the business related activities organized by the chamber.
