The Punjab Skills Development Foundation (PSDF) has launched Digital Verification and Validation (DVV) system deployed by Jazz to offer an end-to-end digitalized attendance system and a comprehensive stipend disbursement solution.

This collaboration is an initiative of Jazz Business, which has the largest and most comprehensive portfolio of B2B ICT services and is currently serving 95 of the top 100 PSX listed companies. In the approval phase with NADRA for biometric integration, the project will benefit over 100,000 PSDF’s students across Punjab.

The DVV system will digitize students’ data by collecting, biometrically verifying, and validating it against NADRA’s database. It will also help integrate trainee profiles into PSDF’s Management Information System (MIS), validate student attendances, and monitor the distribution of various school supplies. Using portable biometric devices, the system will ensure reduced staff-hours, quicker turnaround times, and the elimination of ghost trainees from the database.

Moreover, through JazzCash, allocated monthly stipends will be deposited directly into the trainees’ accounts, giving them instant access to their paychecks and subsequently increasing digital financial inclusion.

He continued, “Digitalization will help us in meeting the multi-faceted challenges of the future and capitalize on the emerging opportunities while allowing complete transparency. We are committed to train and nurture highly efficient human resources to enrich the workforce of Pakistan. We have already designed and launched many online courses to ensure the safety of our trainees while creating income-generating opportunities for the masses during the COVID-19 pandemic. We are offering diverse training portfolios in digital, traditional, and hybrid models across multiple sectors.”

Ali Naseer, Chief Business Officer of Jazz, said, “Jazz Business provides unique solutions, offering reliability, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency to our customers. The DVV project will equip PSDF with high levels of data accuracy and security while decreasing operational costs through the use of best-in-class technologies. This collaboration is in line with our vision to develop a safe and robust digital ecosystem.”
