With 60% of Pakistan’s population under 30, youth unemployment is both the country’s greatest challenge and its greatest opportunity. ZIMM Global’s Youth Entrepreneurship Program provides structured business training, 1-on-1 mentorship from experienced entrepreneurs, access to microfinance, and a community of peers who hold each other accountable.
The Program
Twelve-week curriculum covering: business idea validation, market research, financial modelling, sales and marketing, legal registration, and digital tools. Graduates are connected to ZIMM’s microfinance partners for seed funding of PKR 25,000–200,000 and mentored for 12 months post-launch.
