Voices of Our Learners
“CEO Minds Pakistan Academy truly transformed my personality. Before joining, I was shy and unsure about public speaking, but the CCSSE program helped me find my voice. The trainers were motivating, and the sessions were so practical that I could apply every lesson in real life. Today, I communicate confidently and lead my university projects with pride.”
“Joining CEO Minds Pakistan Academy was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The Youth Entrepreneurship Program gave me the direction and confidence to turn my idea into a startup plan. Every session was practical, full of energy, and focused on real business challenges. CEO Minds didn’t just teach me entrepreneurship — it taught me how to think and act like a leader.”
The CBDP program at CEO Minds Academy helped me think like a real business professional. I learned how to analyze markets, deal with clients, and build business strategies that work. What makes this academy special is the mentorship , they treat every student like a future CEO. I not only improved my skills but also gained a network of inspiring mentors and friends.”
