In a groundbreaking initiative, CloudCamp Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to modern skill development in Bangladesh, has launched Career Canvas, an open-source career management tool designed to empower students from Class 9, SSC, HSC, polytechnic, madrasahs, and universities with AI-driven career planning and skill development. The launch event took place in Dhaka on Feb 16, with key figures from Bangladesh’s tech and education sectors in attendance.
Career Canvas is a first-of-its-kind open-source platform, built by a group of volunteers from both technical and non-technical backgrounds in Bangladesh. This tool addresses a critical challenge: enabling students to leverage AI for career growth, acquire global skills, secure fair compensation, and access universal career guidance.
