Holistic Career Empowerment
Career Development Centres
Addressing the employability gap is a national imperative, given the influx of youth entering the workforce annually and the simultaneous demand from businesses for skilled personnel. This initiative aligns with key national programs such as the National Skill Development Mission, National Urban Livelihood Mission and Skill India. There is an urgent need for large-scale employability initiatives to meet this challenge effectively. .
Our Approach
Many existing livelihood programs fall short in their efforts to alleviate poverty, as they tend to focus solely on skills training. This narrow approach often overlooks essential elements such as unlocking beneficiaries' aspirations, understanding their vulnerabilities and fostering a sense of social belonging. As a result, the skills acquired may not effectively lead to meaningful economic advancement. .
