In today’s world, Information Technology is a key component of the success of any country. Unfortunately, the high cost of education to acquire hardware and software related skills in certain regions around the world prevents the poor from availing these high-demand skills.  Hidaya Foundation strives to bridge this gap by offering basic software and hardware related technology training.  Currently Hidaya is executing or working towards following of the four sub projects.

 

Software Engineering Skills & Development Training
