The program is designed to uplift and empower students by providing them with impactful, industry-aligned training that prepares them to enter the workforce with confidence and competence. With a strong focus on skill development and employability, the initiative aims to bridge the gap between education and employment for youth across Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.

Our mission is to equip students with the practical skills, professional knowledge, and mind-set required to succeed in today’s fast-evolving job market. The training modules are tailored to meet the demands of high-growth sectors such as Banking, Financial Services & Insurance (BFSI), Information Technology / IT-enabled Services (IT/ITES), and Healthcare sectors and to succeed in today’s dynamic job market, paving the way for bright futures.

GTT Foundation, partnering with HDFC Bank, launched a transformative skilling initiative aimed at empowering underserved youth with industry-relevant trainings and sustainable livelihoods. The program was started in Ghaziabad and it has been focusing on local school dropouts and youth from low-income backgrounds. Participants have been receiving 3 months of domain training in BFSI and Retail Sales, followed by placement support with employers such as Aditya Birla Money Ltd, Star Health, Tanishq, SBI Cards and HBD Finance.

Following the successful impact in Ghaziabad, the partnership expanded to Agra and Faridabad. Agra centre also provides skilling in BFSI and Retail, with key employers being Bajaj Capital, Tanishq and Louie Philip. In Faridabad, the program has diversified into Hospitality (in partnership with ICS Hospitality, KFC, etc.) and Electrical domains (Croma, Samsung, and Orient Technology).

To date, GTT Foundation–HDFC Bank collaboration has enabled thousands of youth, to become employable and find aspirational jobs. This partnership is a testament to the power of skilling, opportunity and corporate responsibility coming together to create real change at the grassroots level. Skilling for employability goes beyond just training — it’s about sensitizing the world around us and shaping inclusive, empowered futures.

This initiative is designed to create inclusive opportunities for individuals from marginalized communities—specifically Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), LGBTQ individuals, and underprivileged women. Our goal is to bridge the gap between these communities and mainstream employment by equipping them with the skills, confidence, and resources needed to thrive in the workforce.

Through structured employability training programs, participants gain access to career guidance, industry-relevant skills, mentorship, and placement support. Beyond just employment, the program focuses on building self-worth, independence, and long-term personal and professional growth. By doing so, we aim to foster a more inclusive and equitable society where every individual has the opportunity to realize their full potential.
