10Pearls Launches Pakistan’s First AI-Enhanced Virtual Internship, Empowering the Next Generation of Tech Leaders.
Setting a new standard for digital innovation, 10Pearls has launched 10Pearls Shine, Pakistan’s first fully remote, AI powered internship program.
10Pearls’ unique internship offers students the chance to learn in-demand technical and leadership skills from anywhere within the country, preparing them with a strong foundation for a future career in technology.
A Program that Shines Bright
The 10Pearls Shine Internship, initially launched as a series of on-site programs, transitioned into an AI-powered virtual platform in 2024, making it accessible to students nationwide. The virtual edition received an overwhelming response, with over 10,000 students registering. Through a rigorous selection process, 100 top-tier students were chosen across two dynamic cohorts, empowering them to grow and excel in the tech industry.
The program is now entirely virtual, providing flexibility to students to learn from anywhere in Pakistan. Advanced AI technologies enhance the internship experience through personalized learning, efficient communication, real-time feedback and data-driven insights. Students can choose from three distinct learning paths—Software Development, Software Testing, or Data Science—in accordance with their future career goals. They receive guidance and mentorship from on-ground tech experts, gaining unique insights into the operations of a global tech company, real world challenges and industry trends.“The 10Pearls Shine program provides vital exposure to students pursuing their degree in technology fields. It allows them to work side-by-side with industry leaders, giving them exposure to a global tech enterprise and enhancing their confidence with newfound skills that go beyond traditional classroom knowledge.” Haseeb Iftikhar, Associate Director Talent Acquisition, 10Pearls.
Drawing participants from top universities, including LUMS, IBA, and FAST, 10Pearls Shine brings together Pakistan’s brightest minds. It is a fantastic opportunity for students not just to learn but also to grow their professional network, form communities and build lasting connections that will help them throughout their careers.
