The event saw the participation of approximately 500 students from across the country.

He mentioned that their IT institution offers a comprehensive range of 67 courses, each costing between 20,000 to 30,000 TK. However, as a special incentive for polytechnic students, these courses are available at a significantly reduced cost of only 7,000 to 8,000 TK. This initiative aims to empower polytechnic students, equipping them with valuable skills to uplift themselves and contribute to the nation's future.
Addressing the polytechnic students hailing from various districts of Bangladesh, Engineer Abubokor Hanip emphasized the crucial role the next three months would play in their career development.
He encouraged them to work diligently and complete the courses offered by PeopleNTech, assuring them that success would follow.

He underscored the importance of bringing industry-relevant knowledge and skills into the classroom, a practice that has attracted students from various American universities to enroll in their programs.
Reflecting on the university's achievements, Hanip said, "This is a significant milestone for us, as our graduates are now thriving in the American job market." He noted that while most universities focus on academic subjects, industry-specific knowledge, skills, and experience are critical for success in the job market.
