After a successful EmpowerWP Bhopal 2025 earlier this year, the WordPress Bhopal community is back with a new student-focused initiative, Build Tour 2025. This is a statewide program (Madhya Pradesh) designed for college and university students, offering them a chance to develop digital skills through hands-on learning and guidance from experienced community mentors. Scheduled to run from May through June, Build Tour 2025 is primarily intended for second-year and above students.
The Build Tour 2025: What It’s All About
The Build Tour 2025 will follow a day-long initiative designed to provide students with expert-led talks and interactive workshops centered around building websites, crafting content, understanding the fundamentals of cybersecurity, and preparing for digital careers. At its core is WordPress, powering the hands-on experience that allows every participant to create and launch a live, working website.
The Build Tour marks the next chapter in WP Bhopal’s journey after EmpowerWP Bhopal. With a strong emphasis on student outreach across Madhya Pradesh, the initiative aims to address the gap between education and employability, as stated, “ This time, our focus is on students — especially in Madhya Pradesh — to bridge the glaring gap between education and employability.”
This initiative will teach students how to build and launch a live WordPress website along with the basics, and cover other areas such as domain, hosting, DNS setup, and provide foundational knowledge in cybersecurity, content planning, and contributing to open-source projects.
The participants also get to interact with working professionals and local mentors, and explore how they can start their freelancing journey, tackle personal branding, and the digital journey.
