Bizzmakr hosts skill development programme at JUST
Bizzmakr, a freelancer-powered business solutions platform, organised its latest Campus Activation Programme at Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST) on 14-15 June, aiming to help young people identify, develop and apply skills for career opportunities.
The platform operates on a model where contributors work as freelancers and connects freelancers with businesses through swipe-based features.
Through its Campus Activation Programme, Bizzmakr seeks to help students gain practical insights, market-relevant skills and a clearer understanding of how they can turn their interests into careers.

The two-day programme was held in a large tent set up on the JUST campus and remained open to students, faculty members and staff.
Activities were held from 10am to 3pm on both days, drawing more than 1,000 participants from the university community.
As part of the event, Bizzmakr Founder A S M Rafiul Haque conducted an interactive session titled "Passion to Possibility" at the JUST auditorium on 15 June.
During the session, he discussed the current state of the freelancing industry, emerging opportunities in the digital economy, and ways students can convert their skills, interests and ideas into sustainable professional opportunities.
The session also featured an interactive game to help participants identify types of freelancing and professional work that align with their personalities, strengths and interests.
Participants were also introduced to the Bizzmakr platform and mobile app through a live demonstration, showing how the platform connects talent with opportunities.
Speaking about the initiative, A S M Rafiul Haque said, "Young people spend years learning, but many struggle to find opportunities to apply what they know. Our goal is to help students discover their potential, identify market-relevant skills, and prepare themselves for the realities of the modern workforce. Through our Campus Activation Programs, we want to inspire youth to move beyond academic learning and develop practical capabilities that can create real economic opportunities."
The JUST activation marks the latest phase of Bizzmakr's youth engagement efforts.
Earlier, the platform participated in the National Youth Festival at BRAC University and Flow Fest at Gulshan Club, where it connected with students and young professionals interested in skill development, freelancing and entrepreneurship.
As Bangladesh's digital economy continues to expand, Bizzmakr said it aims to support the next generation of professionals by promoting practical skills, career readiness and continuous learning.
Through its Campus Activation Programme and other initiatives, the platform remains focused on helping young people turn their potential into opportunity.
