Marking an exciting milestone for academia-industry collaboration, Habib University signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with L’Oréal Pakistan during a ceremony held at L’Oréal’s Head Office in Karachi
The progressive collaboration aims to support university students in becoming career-ready through deliberate exposure to real-world industry practices and skill-building opportunities, furthering Habib University’s Career Curation Program while upholding L’Oréal’s dedication to youth development (L’Oréal For Youth (L4Y).
Speaking on L’Oréal becoming ‘Habib University’s Partner in Shaping Futures’, Mr. Qawi Naseer, Country Managing Director of L’Oréal Pakistan, said, “We’re extremely thrilled that this partnership has come to fruition, and now serves as a key step in enhancing youth employability and aiding the creation of meaningful employment opportunities for the younger generation. This partnership’s integration into the L’Oréal For Youth initiative and its multiple programs ensures that it remains tailor-focused on creating avenues through which young minds can push boundaries and shape the future of Pakistan’s economy.”
Under this three-year agreement, L’Oréal Pakistan will provide students with invaluable insights into the transition from academia to the workforce, industry expectations, and professional skills. It will further host on-site visits to its head office; offer career development seminars and mentorship programs; CV-building, mock interviews, and talks by industry leaders; potential collaborations for final-year projects; and share feedback on curriculum development to integrate and emphasize practical knowledge.
