abcFinale - Job Placement

Founder Message

These inspirational words hit a chord, as abcFoundation got established as a not-for-profit organisation to help development of young adults to a globally recognized standard, to enable them to take up employment in the hospitality industry.
abc’s core initiative is to impart learning made available by trained abc tutors of a specially developed curriculum “English for Hospitality Professionals” to young adults having completed successful specially designed abc assessment tests. Graduates benefit further through relevant grooming skills and job application skills. Employment opportunities for abc graduates are made available through an affiliated abc placement company for employment in the UAE if growth in their host countries is not possible.
The end result is gratifying as we witness our graduates going towards further education or employment that had deluded them earlier, or even becoming entrepreneurs. abc does not only benefit graduates financially, but helps eradicate poverty, as their families and indeed society sees a transformation.

abcFoundation contributes to 3 UN Sustainability Development Goals

“Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources including through enhanced development cooperation”

The Founders of the NGO, “An Advent for Building human Capital” (abc) have through their own resources mobilized funding and voluntary capacity. Indeed, founders and several of the management team give of their time voluntarily as an altruistic gesture.

“To provide adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, to implement programmes and policies to end poverty in all its dimensions”

As the name of abc - ‘an advent for building human capital’ suggests, it was founded to implement education programmes to help end poverty by making the unemployed, employment-worthy. abc provides free training to the unemployed or those in menial jobs with no chance of growth in rural areas of India & Pakistan.

“By 2030, ensure equal access for all women and men to affordable and quality technical, vocational and tertiary education, including university”

Whilst we cannot ensure equal access of affordable education is made available for both sexes throughout, abc’s efforts for their endeavors of providing a specific curriculum as stated are equally accessed to both the genders.

“By 2030, substantially increase the number of youth and adults who have relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, for employment, decent jobs and entrepreneurship”

The curriculum “English for Hospitality Professionals” (EHP) aids the unemployed in Pakistan and India by providing relevant skills including technical and vocational skills to aid their growth to attain employment or become entrepreneurs. We are proud to state that:

abcF enrolled 50% female and 50% male in our trainings

abcF increases the number of beneficiaries every year

✔ The target in Pakistan from July 2019 – June 2020 is 650 enrollments as compared to 150 per annum as was the norm

✔ According to the 2018 impact study, our statistics show that more than 80% EHP graduates are impacted and are either employed, are entrepreneurs, or have progressed to tertiary education

abcF helps graduates to look for opportunities in larger hotels

“By 2020, substantially reduce the proportion of youth not in employment, education or training”

abcF as an NGO – “An Advent for Building human Capital” (abcF) provides free education – “English for Hospitality Professionals” to the unemployed in Pakistan and India, aiding their growth through employment, and hopes to help reduce the proportion of the unemployed youth.

“By 2030, devise and implement policies to promote sustainable tourism that creates jobs and promotes local culture and products”

abcF promotes sustainable tourism at national and international platforms by bringing required human resource to a level required in hospitality to Global standards. This is substantiated by the award given to abcF by ‘“Naya Pakistan” Investment Conference, Dubai 2019’
