SKILL DEVELOPMENT
ENVISIONING AN ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDSET IN YOUTH, EQUIPPING THEM WITH LIFE-SKILLS THROUGH A RANGE OF EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING METHODS.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT
Many factors like poverty, lack of education, ignorance, digital inaccessibility, regional disparities, lack of basic skills, and cultural barriers limit the potential of economically disadvantaged youth to break the cycle of poverty and earn a better livelihood.
In such grim situations, it is the youth who can shift the paradigm and step up to support their livelihoods. With appropriate skill development training and mentorship, and also cultivated exemplary personality traits like discipline, hard-work, sincerity, resourcefulness and most importantly, a problem-solving mindset, every young person can stand at a threshold of uncountable opportunities to earn a brighter future. This is exactly what our skill development program envisions to achieve.
Through our need-based models, we are set on a mission to equip the youth with all necessary resources and capabilities to empower marginalized communities with sustainable transformation.
