Skilling marginalized youth to link livelihood opportunities
Skilling the marginalized youth (specially focused on girls & women) for building their futures and fostering the possibilities of entrepreneurship
OVERVIEW
More often than not, youths belonging to struggling households end up as either school or college dropouts due to compelling family circumstances. There’s even a section of the grassroots that does not receive any education. This reality not only weakens employability on a large scale but also deepens poverty. Unfortunately, India lacks such a high-level skilled workforce. The proportion of formally skilled workers in India is extremely low, at 4.69% of the total workforce.
Recent initiatives, such as ‘Skill India’ and ‘Make in India’ by the Government are positive steps towards capacity-building in rural India. While significantly Indian government has crafted several new policies and programs in this direction along with corporates under CSR activities, it needs to be complemented by social organizations. SM-PACT India’s kill programs are highly market-driven & market-linked ensuring that our skilling explores the opportunities to earn livelihood, improve their standard of living and get out of the trap of poverty.
Skill development as part of school education is indeed important to establish a strong foundation for a thriving future. Recognizing the changing nature of job profiles, we conduct skill gap analysis to explore new skills and select domains to impart digital skills, training and knowledge to youth for certification. In doing so, we facilitate job placements aligned with aspirations and industry demand.
