If you are a Pakistani freelancer, you surely have not got any co-working environment at all. Quite often, you will be disturbed from your work. Your mom may come and ask you to go to the market to buy some groceries. Or, your dad may have got some work for you to do. If this is not the case, then you definitely is going to be a victim of Electricity Load shedding or disruptive Internet connectivity. Considering this, Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) has launched Plan9 TechHub i.e. the finest co-working space for freelancers.
At Plan9 TechHub, Pakistani freelancers (Punjabis in particular) will enjoy state-of-the-art working environment. They will be provided with facilities like Internet, UPS, office furniture and heating/air-conditioning. They will have the opportunity to enjoy exclusive events organized by Plan9. Moreover, Plan9 TechHub will also have a dedicated Board of Advisors and Mentors. The board will assist freelancers in developing their professional skills and enhancing their freelancing skills.
As the whole environment is funded by Punjab Govt., the hub has got limited seats. The selection will be made on the experience and freelancing profile of the applicant. This encourages the Pakistani freelancers to be more competitive and dedicated. Interested freelancers can apply at Plan9 TechHub official site. You can apply till 10th Nov. After which, shortlisted applicants will come across a short interview. They can also like official Facebook page of TechHub for latest announcements and updates.
The selection will be made for a quarterly cycle (3 months). This quarter will begin from 15th Nov. Once the cycle is completed, the existing freelancers at Plan9 TechHub need to go through this process all over again. The hub is located at 5th Floor, Room No. 6, Arfa Software Technology Park, Lahore.
Indeed, a wonderful startup by Punjab Govt.! Go and grab this great opportunity now!
