With the advent of the technological revolution and proliferation of jobs, almost every person born into this world has to go through the same journey of school, college in the search of a job. After he finds a suitable job, he goes out in the search of finding a suitable spouse and then come having children, bearing their education and finally death. Shockingly, even at death, someone else has to arrange funds to provide you with a proper burial.
After taking a deep breath, if we juxtapose our entire life, doesn’t it seem like a journey of platonic love that’s…

In life, all we need is a little faith and have the courage to go through doors in the hope that they will lead to somewhere out of the world!
My earliest learnings when I joined as a fellow in the Amal Academy Career Prep Fellowship were about building connections and understanding what empathy, having faith meant. For me, it meant that only those succeed in life who have a growth mindset and carry the faith to take whatever challenge life sends their way.
I mean, the first moments when I joined in on 18th of June 2020, for my…

Being a LUMS Graduate, when I was applying for Amal, I was told that the career prep fellowship wasn't for me and I wouldn't learn much from it.
However, I felt that we should never let opinions hinder our growth and we should always be a part of new experiences, in the hope that it may lead us to doors that open up to beautiful destinations. Therefore, I applied to Amal Fellowship and truly hoped to be selected.
Finally, the fateful email came and I was selected. However, the question of whether opting the fellowship was correct and whether did…

What were our goals and how well were we able to meet them?
SMART GOALS:
1) Business Goals
Human Resource Goals
The first goals for a business are having a strong business team. As a team, we divided our tasks and authorities for an organized setup. We also employed a skilled tailor for completing the business orders as we will receive orders online.
2) Brand Goals
Our most important goal is to establish a clothing brand. For this purpose, we have been brainstorming since the beginning of September and by now, we have designed our logo and written our slogan/motto…

Today, was another amazing day in my time at the Amal Career Fellowship. However, today was an extraordinary day where Amal just went the extra mile.
Today was all about understanding the art of giving interviews and getting feedback from market professionals, who are also Amal Alumni. Therefore, in the near future, I too would love to volunteer as a mock interviewer for future Amal Fellows.
Getting back to the point, the Mock Interview session was hosted by the Amal facilitators, where we were given a simulated experience of an assessment centre followed by a mock interview, a recruitment strategy…

Greetings, viewers!
As a proud Amal Fellow, it is a matter of privilege to inform you about the magic at Amal Academy. Amal to an ordinary student like me is Hogwarts where they teach us to wave our wands and perform magic. Yes, you heard it right, At Amal, we learn “Magic”.
In today's, rapidly growing world, many of us aren't economically stable to support our families or ourselves and we often feel left out. …

“ With Great power comes great responsibility,” said Uncle Ben to the legendary Hero Spiderman, and ever since then, numerous Spiderman’s have emerged onto this planet who wish to make a difference.
Therefore, Team Spiderman from the Amal Academy chose to run a large scale fundraising campaign for the Edhi Foundation to aid them in performing flood relief efforts in Pakistan.
Here’s our story of how this fundraising activity went:

Q) How was the experience of collecting funds for a social cause?
Ans. It was a totally new experience for me to be part of such…
Employment is the key economic indicator and one of the main reasons for economic instability in Pakistan. Unfortunately, the unemployment of Pakistan plummeted down to the one per cent mark in 2010; currently, it has risen to four per cent and is expected to rise six per cent in the following year.
The idea we propose to tackle this gargantuan issue is to work on unemployment by starting a small business setup where skilled labour will be hired for fabric stitching and unskilled labour would be provided training that will ultimately help them to earn for lives. Furthermore, many customers…

Alike all of you, I too am a creature scared of procrastination. I too am a victim of this evil monster that no matter what I do, It never goes away and instead it comes back to haunt me whenever I need to get any work done.
However, This week, I watched a few Tedx videos of Barbara Oakley and Tim Urban as a part of my Amal Career Fellowship Program, and those videos gave me knowledge about a weapon through which we could once and for all vanquish procrastination.
As odd it may sound, the weapon's name is a…
