Support for skill enhancement training to boost employability of 50 less-privileged youth affected by the Pandemic.

According to the 2011 census, India is going to be the youngest country in the world by 2021 with an estimated youth population of 464 million. However, most of this youth population is going to be semi-educated, unskilled and unemployed, leading to many economic and social issues. Unemployment is one of the biggest challenges plaguing the Indian economy, and it has now become essential to hasten efforts to tap the potential of the youth and measure the employability skills efficiently.

Joining Hands works with youth from the less privileged background who due to social or economic reasons had to drop out of regular education. With neither concrete educational background nor any skills, they find it very difficult to find a respectable means of earning livelihood. Through three months' comprehensive training programme focussed on overall development, Joining Hand’s Skill Training Centre based in Delhi provides them with a platform to polish their basic skills such as computer literacy, English, life skills and soft skills and further help them to find employment.

By contributing towards our fundraising target of Rs.6,41,025 you will help us to train 40-50 youth to become employable and financially independent.

Started in 2015, the impact so far :

• We have extended employability to 70 per cent of the beneficiaries wherein from a zero income they are currently earning an average salary of 11,500/ month.
• The programme has ensured high attendance of 85 per cent all through with very low drop-out rate, at 4 per cent.
• Joining Hands students have been placed with reputed organisations like- Apollo Pharmaceutical, KidZania, Costa Coffee KFC, Miniso Japan, Pizza Hut, Reliable Private limited, IBA crafts limited etc.
• The beneficiaries are now supporting educational cost of their siblings and extending considerable support to their families.
• In the last financial year one of the female beneficiaries was placed at Apollo Pharmaceutical with a monthly salary of Rs.20,000/-.
• The first step has been taken, but your support will take it forward. The forthcoming batch comprises of 40-50 youngsters, who will be trained through an extensive 5-tier model- right from Beneficiary Identification to Post Placement Follow up- and a total of Rs.6,41,025 is required for the same. With your help in raising Rs. 6,41,025 we will be able to train 40-50 more young people to be financially independent and employable.
