Choose your Career with AKEBP's Career Substack

The Aga Khan Education Board for Pakistan (AKEBP) is pleased to introduce a pioneering and innovative digital careers channel, career.substack.com, an online experience to support students for personalized career facilitation and to prepare them for their journey.

With technology advancements driving the quest for more immersive experiences, greater connections and meaningful and personalized encounters, AKEBP has launched a digital careers channel. The channel aims to embrace career discovery with an ability to reach broad-based Jamati students, providing everything career related, with the click of a button.

At career.substack.com, students can subscribe to the channel with one simple step and receive scholarship updates, tips and tricks on getting admissions to top universities and information on upcoming webinars. Students start the process by using their email address and subscribing to the mailing list. They can sign in from multiple devices, to ensure their discovery continues at home, with family and friends or in the classroom.

In the upcoming months, AKEBP intends to make this platform an all-encompassing digital careers platform. Students can use the channel as a gateway to access valuable information relating to various degree programmes, expert advice and networking. Through the platform, students can communicate directly with professionals, communicate their aspirations, set tasks, access scholarship information and filter or modify their resume, cover letter and personal statement.

Message from Zahra Ladhani, Chairman, The Aga Khan Education Board for Pakistan

Welcome to the hub of Career Communities, our new career.substack.com channel. Here you will find all career-related information at your fingertips, tied together by common interests and pursuits. This is where you gain access to opportunities, experiences, and in the future, mentors to develop your skills.

On Career Substack, you will find information curated for undergraduate, graduate and PhD students including programmes, career and internship opportunities, on-campus tips and tricks, student blogs, study abroad opportunities as well as other resources you need to succeed. In the future, we will also provide you direct access to mentors working in your field of interest who can assist to enhance your résumé, think through the selection of a major or just discuss life after studies. Revisit these pages often and sign up for the newsletter as the content will be updated regularly. All of these articles have been designed to help you find information that is relevant to you when you need it.

These are not communities of membership; they are communities of interest. You are free to explore as many articles and blogs as you like. In fact, you are encouraged to do so. You might find that your current plan will need fine-tuning, require broadening your horizon or getting you to explore an opportunity you had never previously considered. We wish you luck!
