JOB Skill Training Program

Youth (15-24 years) in India constitutes one-fifth of the total population (census 2011). India is expected to have a 34% share of youth in the total population. Due to the growing population, the youth in India have been exposed to unemployment, fierce competition in the job market, lack of suitable job opportunities, job sustainability, and overall uncertainty about a sustainable livelihood. Even young people with a college education and multiple degrees face difficulty in getting a job to sustain a decent lifestyle. In this situation, young people from underprivileged and marginalized backgrounds, who are mostly first-generation learners, are even more susceptible. They are deprived of quality education, skill training, and overall development required in a highly competitive job market. They mostly end up working in the unorganized sector as daily wage laborers or doing unskilled jobs with little opportunity to forge a decent living. And for young girls and women, the opportunity is even less as gender discrimination is still a reality in Indian society.

Through Lakshya Jeevan Jagriti, we are re-imagining empowerment by creating labor force participants who are skilled and equipped with 21st-century skills. Also enables agency, and self-expression in young people targeting 1 million youth in the next five years. We envision youth all over the world, finding their voice, expressing their power, living their dreams, and becoming leaders in their communities. We do that through our mastery program which leverages the power of Social-Emotional Learning and Skills training. So far, we have directly worked with more than 2000 youth (age 18 to 25) who got trained in IT skills and receive placement support from us.

We are providing Social and Emotional Learning skills and IT and GDA (General Duty Assistant) nursing Skill training support to youth in the age group
of 18 years to 30 years. They will be trained in 21st-century skills which help them to build a promising career in IT and Health Care Sector. Lakshya is narrowing down the skills gap and catering to school dropouts and students pursuing graduation from non-regular colleges coming from lower socio-economic backgrounds are the focus area of the program.

The uniqueness of our program:
1. Industry Visits and exposures
2. Certified and accredited courses
