Engr. Abubokor Hanip, a remarkably talented entrepreneur and educationist, hails from
Bangladesh and has carved a notable path in the industry through his own efforts. His wealth of experiences has molded him into a skillful individual who firmly believes that dedication and hard work can propel one to the pinnacle of success. Over the past two decades, he has been pioneering innovative skill development models and providing job placement services through PIIT in the USA, Canada, Bangladesh, and beyond.

These students encompass diverse backgrounds, including cab drivers, gas station attendants, restaurant waiters, and university graduates.

Moreover, Mr. Hanip stands as a trailblazer as the first Bangladeshi American to own a role-
model university in the USA, known as Washington University of Science and Technology (www.wust.edu), where graduates commence their careers at mid-level positions immediately after graduation.
