Skills360 Pakistan, an education & development venture under the umbrella of The Coach360, co-founded by Burhan Mirza has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Federal Urdu University of Arts, Science & Technology (FUUAST) to strengthen student access to industry-aligned education.

The agreement, signed in the presence of Skills360 Executive Director, Kashif Hussain Shah and Director ORIC at FUUAST, Dr Hina Akram Mudassir marks a significant step toward bridging academic learning and professional skills development.

As part of this initiative, Skills360 will reserve 25 seats across multiple courses exclusively for FUUAST students. This is part of a broader effort to make industry-relevant education more accessible to university students. Furthermore, building on its commitment to inclusivity and merit, Skills360 will also provide a 50% scholarship on all its courses for students nominated by the university’s management.

In a promising academic integration, FUUAST may choose to recognize completed Skills360 courses as elective components within its own academic programs. This will be subject to internal academic review and curriculum alignment, reinforcing the university’s commitment to progressive education.

One of the standout aspects of the partnership is the career support integration in the program. Top performers will have access to internship opportunities through Skills360’s vast network of affiliated industry partners, offering real-world work experience that can significantly enhance post-graduation job prospects.

Speaking on the occasion, Burhan Mirza, co-founder of Skills360, stated, “This collaboration is curated to create employment opportunities for students by aligning university education with practical, in-demand skills. Our goal is to help prepare the next generation of professionals who are not just academically sound but also market ready.”

Dr. Zabta Khan Shinwari, Vice Chancellor of FUUAST, added, “We’re delighted to partner with Skills360 in our mission to enhance the employability of our students. This initiative will help our students gain access to real-world training and meaningful industry exposure.”

The signing ceremony was also attended by Skills360 Academic Director Dr. Shaukat Wasi, alongside the institute’s Executive Director Skills360 & CEO ProByte (Technical partners of Skills360), Mr Kashif Hussain Shah, Vice Chancellor FUUAST, Dr Zabta Khan Shinwari and other senior representatives from both institutions.
