While online education goes abuzz on the digital space, there remains an eerie silence when it comes to learning that directly leads to work and thereby a pathway to self-actualization. Robi, the country’s leading digital service provider sought to plug this gap by unveiling its structured online training platform, HaateKolome.
Academic education is certainly the building blocks of our education system, but if it is not supplemented by specific skill-based training, the market doesn’t get the human resources it looks for. As the trendsetter in this genre of online education, HaateKolome, in true sense is going to revolutionize how the country imparts technical skill-based training to its citizens in Smart Bangladesh.
HaateKolome is designed to meet the diverse skill needs of citizens, offering a range of courses that delve into market-oriented skills, business insights, and crucial life skills. Recognizing the evolving landscape of employment, the platform aims to equip individuals with practical knowledge that goes beyond conventional academic learning. This visionary approach seeks to not only empower individuals but also contribute to the socio-economic development of the nation.
The platform kicked off its journey in December, 2023 with two comprehensive courses in mobile repairing and caregiving, addressing immediate and relevant needs in the job market. As HaateKolome evolves, it plans to introduce courses that span a wide spectrum of skills, including graphic designing, housekeeping, plumbing, pipe fitting, electrician work, sewing machine operation, welding etc. The phased approach also includes future plans for training expatriates, sports enthusiasts, farmers, and those involved in fishing and livestock.
One of the remarkable features of HaateKolome is its commitment to inclusivity. Robi ensures that interested individuals can participate in the training programs free of charge, making education accessible to all strata of the society. The platform can be accessed through the HaateKolome YouTube channel, Facebook page, or the official website, creating multiple entry points for eager learners.
The Philosophy Behind "Believe, You Can"
At the core of HaateKolome's mission is the philosophy encapsulated in Robi's brand motto – "Believe, You Can". Shihab Ahmad, Robi's Chief Commercial Officer, emphasizes the platform's role in instilling self-belief among the population. This goes beyond conventional education, addressing the growing demand for specific skill sets in various industries. The platform is not merely a learning space; it is a gateway to empowerment.
HaateKolome has garnered support from influential figures, including Robi's brand ambassador, Tamim Iqbal, who commended the platform as a torch guiding youth toward self-actualization. The initiative also received congratulations from notable personalities such as Md. Nazrul Islam Khan, Curator of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Memorial Museum, and Ayman Sadiq, Founder and CEO of 10 Minute School.
The HaateKolome learning platform opens its doors with an ethos of inclusivity. Interested individuals can partake in the training programs without any financial barrier, making education accessible to all.
