SYED MIZAN::

[Dhaka, January 29, 2026] RYZE, Banglalink’s AI-powered digital hub for youth, has successfully launched RYZE AI Camp at the United International University (UIU) to equip students with future-ready skills required for an increasingly AI-enabled job market. The initiative emphasized applied learning, career preparedness, and real-world industry exposure through a structured and outcome-oriented curriculum.

Designed to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and industry expectations, RYZE AI Camp redefines how students engage with artificial intelligence. Moving beyond the traditional approach of treating AI as a standalone technical subject, the program positions it as a practical enabler across careers, work environments, and entrepreneurship—helping students develop critical thinking, professional identity, and workforce relevance.

At the core of RYZE AI Camp is a three-pillar curriculum—Careeryze, AI labs, and Sidegigs—covering the complete journey from campus life to employability. As part of the rollout, the Careeryze segment was successfully conducted at UIU, engaging over 600 registered students through hands-on workshops, career-focused sessions, and insights from industry professionals.

The curriculum rollout was organized by the UIU Business Club, with institutional support from the Office of the Directorate of Career Counselling & Student Affairs (DCCSA). Nahid Hassan Khan, Director of DCCSA, UIU, oversaw the coordination and execution of the initiative.

Speaking on the initiative, Golam Kibria, Chief Digital Officer, Banglalink, said, “In today’s fast-changing world, building a confident career requires more than classroom learning, it needs practical skills and real-world exposure. Through RYZE AI Camp, we want to help students better understand industry expectations and prepare themselves for the opportunities ahead. By creating meaningful pathways for young talent, Banglalink is committed to putting people first and contributing to the country’s digital future.”

The workshops were conducted by senior representatives from RYZE and Banglalink, including K M Raihan, Head of RYZE, Banglalink; S M Shamsur Rahman, Head of Strategic Business; Md. Forhad Hossain, Sales Director, RYZE, and Ala Uddin, Digital Marketing Senior Manager; Mohammad Tahmidur Rahman, Head of Digital Recharge; Refayat Ahmed, Talent Management Senior Manager; Ishfaqur Rahman, Talent Acquisition Senior Specialist and Tahseen Labeeba Preema, Talent Management Lead Specialist.
