About ILM:
The Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) was established in 1990 by leading educationists, professionals and industrialists with an aim to make a meaningful contribution to education as a social service. Guided by the noble mission of helping others in actualizing their limitless potential to its finest shape, ILM has responded well to the challenges of the information-based economy, globalization, and ever increasing complexities of the modern world. It has already achieved the target of establishing the University of Management and Technology (UMT), a leading institute of higher learning in the country that is chartered by the Government of the Punjab and has been awarded “W” category by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan.
With more than twenty one years of experience in the private educational sector in Pakistan, ILM is well poised to embark upon another ambitious project. The dearth of educational institutions imparting quality education to the nation's youth has been felt for quite some time. The country needs learning institutions that equip young minds with the essentials of modern education while retaining its distinct cultural and religious ethos. Keeping this in view, ILM Trust has decided to launch a network of colleges in different cities of Pakistan.
Investing in education for a bright future:
The future belongs to knowledge-based societies and economies. Investing in education is the only way to ensure a highly skilled and well educated youth that is capable of becoming a part of the global workforce. Needless to say, this is an age of privatization and the education sector is no exception. Standards of public sector education are constantly declining. This scenario offers almost limitless investment opportunities to private sector entrepreneurs, visionaries or simply likeminded people who want to make a difference in the lives of future generations. Over the years, the private sector has contributed significantly in the educational sector and scores of private educational institutions have emerged. Their success rate is reasonably encouraging as the benefits of quality private education are increasingly becoming known and people with the means to afford such education have shown increasing willingness to send their offspring to such places. This confirms that substantial scope exists for launching new colleges to cater for the demand for quality education at a price that is considered affordable. Therefore, we are taking the initiative by inviting prospective franchisees to participate in this project.
