Educational programme for the future Recognising future opportunities and the importance of education, Pakistan Cables has teamed up with the NED University in Karachi, Pakistan, to establish the Cooperative Education Program, providing female students with industrial experience, alongside their educational studies. The two organisations recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to provide a partnership that allows selected students enrolled in the Cooperative Education Program to receive a full academic scholarship, as well as internship opportunities at Pakistan Cables. “The MoU reaffirms our long-standing philosophy of leading the way for engineering development in Pakistan,” said Fahd K Chinoy, CEO of Pakistan Cables. “It also underscores our commitment towards diversity and providing opportunities for the youth. I am extremely proud that we have partnered with an esteemed institution that has a proven 100-year legacy of leading learning in Pakistan.” Dr Sarosh Lodhi, vice chancellor of NED University, added: “Pakistan Cables Ltd is a renowned name in the electrical industry, serving and providing prime quality cables for more than six decades. The MoU is a landmark document which will provide excellent opportunity to the students and faculty of NED University to work closely with a leading manufacturer.” More details are on page 33. With environmental issues at the forefront in many industries worldwide, Cimteq – a software provider to the global wire and cable manufacturing industry – has released a new white paper titled Addressing the Challenges of Carbon Footprint Reduction. The paper – the company’s fourth this year – gives readers a look at a worldwide priority, and practical advice on how manufacturers can make changes to become more sustainable.
