La Compte in collaboration with Network for Human and Social Development was successful in training apprentices and helping them achieve the completion certificates (on basis of attendance) for Diploma in Information Technology.
As a part of the Diploma in Information Technology, the students were provided training that was completed for four certificate courses
- Website Design and Development
- Graphic Design
- Office Automation and Database Development
- Foundations of Linux and Principles of Virtualization for System Administration
In the duration whilst they were given technical training, these apprentices were also given practical experience regarding basic computer requirements (how to install operating systems, whether they be Windows or Linux, installing programs in Windows, troubleshooting computer functionality), through to advanced concepts (utilizing graphic design software to develop publishing solutions and animation options, virtualization principles and practice, open source software integration in workflow, Microsoft Access database development). The apprentices were provided technical training on computers free of cost, and further, they were given time for practicing theoretical concepts that were taught during the course of this whole process.
La Compte commends the collaborative spirit which defined this endeavor and ensured mutually aligned successful output indicators. We are grateful to NHSD for their endeavors to assist La Compte.
La Compte is committed to the Philosophy of Free and Open Source Software, and furthermore, is aligned with the Principles of Right to Repair. We hope that with this endeavor we are able to achieve further success in the future. These were successful towards ensuring that the institute would have facilities and resources that are available for all of our apprentices.

La Compte and Network for Human and Social Development signed an MOU. This will help the effective management in the Institute of Information Technology. It will also aid in administration and technical expertise provision. This institute will provide technical trainings in graphic designing and web design. It will also offer trainings in database management and database development. Additional subjects include cloud storage, basic computers, and clerical office suites. The course is focused towards the empowerment of those communities who are living in socioeconomically deprived regions. These courses have been positively received by the community.
La Compte has received the training proficiency certificates of students enrolled in the Diploma in Information Technology courses. These certificates were issued after the students completed the theoretical and practical examination components of end-of-semester exams. The exams were conducted by independent examiners in June 2024.
La Compte in collaboration with Network for Human and Social Development ensured that the examinations went transparently and smoothly.
La Compte is proud to announce the successful graduation of our seventh batch of dedicated students.
Eight individuals have completed the rigorous three-month certificate course, equipping them with essential skills for clerical and administrative tasks in both public and private office settings. Throughout the program, these apprentices received comprehensive training in Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Access. They also honed their technical skills in effective typing, gained a substantial improvement in their core concepts of computer management fundamentals, and delved into the basics of graphic design. We are thrilled to see these students embrace their newfound knowledge and embark on their professional journeys with confidence.
La Compte has openings available for our next batch of graphic designing courses.
La Compte has finally established and prepared “The Asbar Khan Lodhi Freelancer Facilitation Lab” and it is finally functional.
In memory of Asbar Khan Lodhi, the late uncle of Shehroze Ameen (Partner La Compte), this lab is equipped with updated computers for the purpose of providing freelancers a technical center and a centralized server system where they may work on independent contracts acquired by La Compte.
This was made possible due to the continuous efforts of La Compte partners, and it will be used as an opportunity for the freelancers to work together, have a resource that they may use for independent work, and for the long-term engagement in thematic areas focusing on web designing, data sciences, and graphic designing.
La Compte successfully conducted the seventh batch certificate distribution in its headquarters. Six new apprentices were trained in Digital Marketing, Graphic Designing, Website Development and Database Management modalities. These apprentices received basic training in freelancing etiquette and ethics. They also learned strategies to successfully implement their lessons. This training aims to help them improve the financial situations of their families.
La Compte is proud of the accomplishments it has achieved. It appreciates NHSD’s continued collaboration.
