PSO Hosts KVTC Student Exhibition Celebrating Vocational Skills and Inclusion
Karachi: Pakistan State Oil (PSO), the nation’s energy company, hosted a showcase at its head office in collaboration with the Karachi Vocational Training Centre (KVTC), celebrating the creativity, skills, and achievements of differently-abled students. The event builds on a partnership dating back to 2018 and reflects the company’s commitment to community development, social inclusion, and meaningful employee engagement.
The exhibition featured stalls of handmade products crafted by KVTC students, giving PSO employees the opportunity to purchase items and directly support the young artisans behind them. The format was deliberately interactive: students guided staff step-by-step through their crafts, sparking genuine conversation about their journeys and talents, and fostering mutual learning and appreciation.
Speaking at the event, PSO CSR Trust member Mr. Asif Khan said:

This showcase is a powerful reminder that true progress is built on inclusion, dignity, and equal opportunity for every citizen.”
Farheen Amir, Chief Operating Officer, KVTC, remarked: “Sustained corporate support is essential in giving our students the confidence and tools they need to achieve financial independence and societal recognition. We sincerely thank PSO for being a steadfast partner since 2018. Events like this do more than showcase handmade products — they show our students that their hard work is valued, their abilities are recognized, and their potential is limitless.”
Through this ongoing collaboration, PSO and KVTC continue to advance vocational training for differently-abled youth, equipping them with practical skills and pathways toward a more independent and dignified future.
