KARACHI: The Karachi Vocational Training Centre (KVTC) proudly hosted its Convocation Ceremony 2025, celebrating the achievements of its extraordinary graduates with distinguished guests in attendance, including the CEO of Indus Motor Company (IMC), Mr. Ali Asghar Jamali, who graced the event as one of the Chief Guests. The event was further honored by the presence of the Consulate Generals of Japan, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, reaffirming KVTC’s growing international recognition and support.
In a ground-breaking move under the Toyota CSR initiative Concern Beyond Cars, Mr. Ali Asghar Jamali announced a series of generous and unprecedented contributions aimed at empowering differently-abled youth in Pakistan:
Rs. 500,000 each was awarded to eight KVTC para-athletes who represented Pakistan and achieved remarkable success at the 21st WATA International Championship held in Japan and Malaysia.
A further Rs. 2.5 million each was granted to 10 newly graduated differently-abled individuals (including five boys and five girls) to help them launch their entrepreneurial ventures—marking a first-of-its-kind initiative in Pakistan aimed at promoting entrepreneurship among differently-abled persons.
Additionally, employment opportunities were extended to five newly graduated KVTC students, enabling them to become self-reliant and contribute meaningfully to the workforce.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr. Jamali stated, “This is not just about financial aid, it’s about creating long-term, sustainable impact. Through ‘Concern Beyond Cars’, Toyota and IMC are proud to support the dreams and aspirations of these incredible young individuals who continue to inspire us all.”
With over three decades of service, KVTC continues to provide holistic development opportunities for differently-abled individuals through tailored vocational training, sports, and rehabilitation. The 2025 Convocation stands as a testament to KVTC’s mission of enabling ability beyond disability.
