Bkash launched a new career programme called bHive to help university students learn about work life and prepare for jobs, and the first edition welcomed about one hundred and eighty students from eighteen public and private universities who took part in subject sessions, office tours and interactive talks with senior staff. The four-day programme was split into clear segments so participants could watch how teams plan and finish projects, see daily operations up close and understand how different roles link together to reach a goal. During office tours students saw project rooms, simple dashboards and how staff use tools to track progress, and subject sessions gave practical tips on skills that employers value like communication, problem solving and basic digital know-how. Senior leaders joined open discussions and answered questions about career paths, how projects move from idea to delivery and what firms look for when they hire new staff. One student said the programme made career choices feel clearer and helped set simple steps for learning while still in university. bKash human resources staff said the initiative builds a bridge between classrooms and the workplace and that the company is working to make talent ready for new fintech roles that need both soft skills and technical awareness. The event also highlighted bKash’s other talent efforts, such as paid internships, a management trainee scheme and campus ambassador programmes that give students ongoing links and chances to work on real tasks. Organisers stressed that short, practical experiences help students try new skills without leaving study, and they said longer mentoring and clearer internship paths can make learning more useful. Employers at the sessions noted that steady skills development, fair feedback and real project work help graduates step smoothly into entry roles and raise confidence. The programme included time for small group work so students practiced teamwork, presentation and simple planning techniques that are used in daily office life. bKash plans follow-up mentoring and hopes to place interested students in internships and project roles so they can gain more hands-on experience. Local university staff welcomed the chance to connect with industry and said such events help students match course study with employer needs. The positive reaction from students, staff and organisers suggests that practical programmes like bHive can help young people find clearer routes to jobs while giving companies a steady way to spot and train new talent. If more firms copy this step and link short learning events with real internships, students can build useful skills early and firms can grow homegrown talent for future roles and innovation.
