TEHRAN –The first freelancing school in the country will be established with the assistance of the Vice Presidency for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy.

The freelancing school will be launched under the theme of ‘experiencing a different world by developing Iran's freelancing ecosystem’. The main objective is to expand youth employment in the digital age, IRNA reported.

It also aims to promote freelancing culture, empower freelancers, and develop the country's freelance ecosystem.

Focusing on the needs and future of entrepreneurship in the country, the school aims to provide support and educational facilities for those who are looking for innovative and creative strategies in freelancing.

The school can provide different services such as directing freelancers and employers to platforms, developing and promoting freelance culture, encouraging employers to entrust services to freelancers, and encouraging people to become freelancers.

The school determines professional qualifications, helps to identify expert and capable freelancers, and improves the software and hardware skills of freelancers.

It also helps capable individuals to be known, improves the level of their soft and hard skills, determines the professional qualifications of trainers, and offers shared work space, content production studio, and infrastructure for in-person and distance courses.

Finally, services offered to employers get them to know freelancers and how to work with them, help them access experts in different fields, and provide the opportunity for exchanging opinions and discussions in different fields.

Another initiative of the school is the establishment of Iran's first freelancing social network, where all people active in freelancing can have a presence using the platform.
