Every great change begins with an opportunity. For hundreds of orphaned and deserving youth in Pakistan, that opportunity has finally arrived. Crown Q Institute of Hospitality Management and Pakistan Sweet Home have partnered to launch a scholarship-based skill program. This initiative will provide free, high-quality training to deserving youth from across the country, including those from Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir.

This skill development program is not just about teaching a trade. It is about giving dignity, opportunity, and hope to young men and women who have long been deprived of such chances. The six-month training will open doors to promising careers in culinary arts, baking, pastry making, and hotel management. 

Qualified applicants will be given free training, mentoring, and an internationally recognized certification. In addition, they will gain industry exposure that has the power to transform their lives.

While speaking to the Sweet Home team, Mr. Anwar Qureshi shared his vision for the program. 

“We have always believed that the real inheritance we can give to the next generation is education and skills,” he said. “Through this initiative, we want to ensure that no deserving young person is left behind just because they cannot afford the fee. Our mission is to empower them so they can stand on their own feet, support their families, and live with pride.”

The program has been designed with strict eligibility criteria to ensure it reaches those who need it most. To apply, candidates must:

  • Be between 18 and 25 years of age
  • Have completed Matric or F.A/F.Sc (Intermediate)
  • Belong to low-income families who cannot afford such programs
  • Be orphaned or deserving young people who genuinely need support

Applicants already enrolled in full-time training or degree programs, or those unable to provide the required documents, will not be eligible.

Typically, the cost of such a program would be Rs. 133,000 per trainee, but Crown Q and Pakistan Sweet Home are making it completely free for those selected. Selected candidates will also benefit from Crown Q’s collaboration with Ramada Hotel, a franchise of Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, one of the world’s largest hotel groups with more than 7,000 properties worldwide. This global affiliation ensures that certifications hold international value and recognition.

It is also important to highlight that chefs are among the highest-paid professionals worldwide, with opportunities in five-star hotels, cruise ships, restaurants, and international hospitality chains. To further build credibility, Crown Q Institute has already been involved in training the staff of leading hotels such as Ramada and IFQ, setting industry standards, and proving its expertise in professional hospitality education.

The collaboration also reflects the compassion of Mrs. Humaira Qureshi, who emphasized the life-changing potential of the initiative. “Every child deserves the chance to dream and to achieve those dreams. By providing professional training free of cost, we are not only teaching them how to cook or manage hospitality services are also opening the doors to independence, self-worth, and a better tomorrow.”

For many of the aspirants, this program will be a turning point. With skills in cooking, baking, hospitality, and management, they will be able to:

  • Secure jobs in leading hotels, restaurants, and catering companies
  • Join the culinary divisions of the armed forces
  • Launch their own food businesses, bakeries, or catering services
  • Pursue careers abroad with a globally recognized certification

Zamurrad Khan (Hilal-e-Imtiaz) also praised the program and expressed his full support. 

“This initiative is not just about skill-building; it is about nation-building. “Our orphans and deserving youth are full of talent and ambition. All they need is the right platform. With the support of Crown Q, we are giving them that chance. These young people will no longer be seen as dependent; they will grow into contributors, leaders, and shining examples for others.”

To keep the admission process fair, transparent, and organized, candidates must submit important documents along with their application, including:

  • Candidate’s CNIC / B-Form
  • Guardian or Father’s CNIC
  • Educational Certificates (Matric / F.Sc)
  • Death Certificate (if orphan)
  • Recent Utility Bill
  • Domicile Certificate
  • Two Passport-size Photographs

The program will begin in the first week of November with the first batch of 150 candidates, boys and girls alike, coming from all corners of Pakistan. Classes will run Monday to Friday, with a minimum attendance requirement of 75 percent to ensure commitment and discipline. Over time, more participants will be enrolled, expanding the program’s impact and reaching even more families.

Crown Q and PSH will also provide free accommodation for candidates traveling from outside Karachi. With this support, even those from remote areas can take part without worrying about distance or expense.

This partnership is more than an agreement between two institutions. It is truly a beacon of hope. It promises that an orphan or a needy youngster in any corner of Pakistan can dream again. Even a struggling family in rural Sindh can now break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future.

Crown Q Institute and Pakistan Sweet Home prove that compassion with professionalism creates real opportunities. Together, they are transforming individuals while also uplifting families, communities, and the nation as a whole.

This skill development program in Culinary Arts, Baking, and Hotel Management will bring jobs, businesses, and fulfilled dreams to countless deserving young people. Most importantly, it will empower a generation to stand tall and rewrite their own destiny.
