As per the latest statistics, two-thirds of our skill pool is not fit to sustain a job. In India almost 30 million youth complete graduation & only 20% are employable and rest are quite capable of being employable except for want of basic skills which the mainstream education doesn’t cover. There is a gap between the education students receives and the needs and expectations of the industry, resulting in a decreased number of employable candidates. Employment Training for rural children aims to prepare poor students to get ready for a career in different Sectors.

Empowerment & Skill development of a rural poor student will end the poverty cycle of the whole family. When we invest in a Young, economically challenged meritorious child, we can break the poverty cycle of a family forever. The rural students don’t get opportunity to learn skills that are necessary to succeed in any industry – such as problem solving, critical reasoning, and teamwork. As they study in vernacular medium till graduation, they do not have the English language skills that are necessary to gain jobs in either the Private sector or the Public sector. In short, there is a wide gap between the education that students receive and the needs and expectations of industry, resulting in unemployment or underemployment.
