THE NEED
A minimum of 8 million job seekers enter the Indian market every year while the number of jobs created is far less. Unemployment in our country is the highest its been in 45 years. The paradox, however, is that about 48% of Indian employers reported difficulties filling vacancies due to talent shortage. This indicates a clear gap between the requirements of industry and the training available to youth in the country today. While the government’s Skill India mission pledged to train a minimum of 300 million people by 2022, only 25 million were actually trained till the end of 2018. Further, those who received training were not adequately skilled and the employability rate remains low. With 43 percent of India’s youth not in employment, education or training, our country faces an immense task in preparing the workforce and ensuring livelihood for all.
SOLUTION
Our project aims to bridge the skill gap and equip youth with employable skills and job opportunities based on local market needs.
