Creating employment opportunities through different vocational skills.
Project Overview
We organize vocational trainings for underprivileged, adolescent girls, low-literate youth. Culturally, many of these girls are likely to be married at a rather young age. These vocational skills like computer, sewing, cutting &tailoring, beauty treatments and basic IT skills allow these girls to pursue financial independence and help in their skill development. For this we are constantly trying to setup Vocational centers with skilled trainer that can understand their needs and give training as per their adaptability. Aim of this project is to impart education and skill development in children, youth and women so that they can live a life of dignity and respect.
- Financial independence is crucial for breaking cycle of poverty.
- Most of these skills are neither seasonal nor topical.
- Significant improvement in chances of employment.
- Make them earn a dependable livelihood for their family needs
Brief about Vocational education
Girls who want more flexibility can become freelance beauticians or open an in-home tailoring service. Computer courses provide government-backed JSS certificates and Sakshi organizes recruiting sessions with corporates.
The important thing is that these courses equip boys and girls to earn twice as much as what their family would earn combined. Importantly too it is a regular income, with opportunity for growth as they build their businesses or get salary increments. As the course get progress, girls not only learn subject skills but also learn to communicate, work in teams and accomplish projects.
Healthy peer interaction and a positive environment of learning infused such confidence in them for winning over the challenges in life and they can find jobs very easily. Their success not only help them and their families but serves as an inspiration to others and helps us realize our dream of helping needy members of society who only need a little support and a platform to show their caliber. Initiative of Vocational training for underprivileged is very important for raise employment, social equality and sustainable development.
