Tameer

As millions of young people join the workforce each year, traditional employment opportunities are limited. To address the gap, we began Tameer a program designed to develop entrepreneurial skills and introduce young people to entrepreneurship as a viable career alternative through workshops, counselling and start-up training. It also provides platforms like the Tameer Awards to showcase entrepreneurs to a wider network of customers, business partners and investors.

This empowers people and communities to drive and sustain their own development and build better futures. Since 2003, Tameer has reached over 1.2 million young Pakistani entrepreneurs, trained more than 13,500 young entrepreneurs in sustainable enterprise development, and created and supported over 1,200 startups. Additionally, 184 entrepreneurs have been recognized and rewarded through the Tameer Awards, and over PKR 14 million in grants have been provided to 19 alumni through international grant programs.
