Kathmandu: Genese Solution – a UK-based value IT consulting and cybersecurity firm- organised a Tech Job Enablement IT workshop in collaboration with Kageshwori Manahara Municipality on Friday.

Addressing the event, Executive Director of Genese Solution, Mr Bhim Dhakal, urged local youth to join the workshop and improve their skills. “IT literacy has become a must for all groups of people, especially youth,” he said. He thanked Kageshwori Manahara Municipality for setting up the Innovation Center and said Genese Solution was happy to collaborate with the Municipality with a view to supporting local youth to gain tech skills and prepare them for employment opportunities in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector.

Making a presentation, founder and CEO of Genese Solution, Mr Anjani Phuyal, said that bridging the gap in digital governance could create thousands of jobs and help Nepal connect with the world on its own terms.

“Genese Solution has established the G-Tec, in collaboration with the Kageshwori Manohara Municipality with a view to empower community members, including local youth, by providing industry-aligned skills, fostering innovation, and creating pathways to sustainable employment. Genese Solution hs been organising tech bootcamps so as to train local youth in web development, data science, AI, and cybersecurity, among others,” said Phuyal, who is also former AWS Ambassador for the UK and Ireland. “We will connect local youth to certificate-awarding courses offered by AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, which would directly link them to the IT job market. Technology is not just about tools, it’s about people. Let us continue to create opportunities where young minds can innovate, inspire, and learn,” he added.

Mayor of Kageshwori Manahara Municipality, Mr Upendra Karki , said that Municipality had decided to set up the Innovation Center with the aim of making Kageshwori Manahara Municipality the country’s IT hub. He emphasized the vast opportunities that tech education could bring to the community. “Today’s youths are looking for education that could lead them to gainful employment. We are so happy to collaborate with Genese Solution and would like to extend our sincere thanks to Genese for this timely initiative,” he said. He said municipality was working on to create opportunities for Gen Z generation.

Chairman of Ward No. 6 of Kageshwori Manohara Municipality, Mr Prakash Phuyal, said that many youths were going abroad as they would not get any employment locally. He thanked Genese Solution for providing such an opportunity to local youths in their own community and expressed full support from the municipality.

In August this year, Genese Solution and Kageshwori Manohara Municipality signed an MoU with the objective of enhancing digital literacy and workplace readiness.

A ‘Girls in Tech’ group has also been formed so as to promote women’s participation in the tech sector. Nearly 70 local youths have already signed up with the center to join various courses, a press statement said.
