HRDN Pakistan is the most critical and resourceful capacity-building institution, providing services both in the private and public sectors not only at national level but internationally. It makes new friends and industry acquaintances; and expands social circle and business partners. HRDN involves in arranging meetings with new people and exchanging professional ideas, information, and experiences between groups and individuals. Further, helps in developing professional networking both in formal and informal settings also conducting events, and connecting with specific individuals and associations. It provides a platform to bring professionals together to connect and help each other for growing their careers. My experience with HRDN was awesome and it helped me to meet with some good professionals and increase my friends’ circles. I think HRDN has to expand its work to conduct not only capacity-building projects but also to conduct studies and assessments as well as implement the project.
