Support Less Privileged Youth to Reach their Dream Careers

Just like Aditi, close to 70 million less privileged adolescents in India who are the first ones in their family to finish school, do not have any kind of access to quality career support and guidance to help them achieve their aspirations. Resulting in a lack of interest in continuing education and dropping out of school. Why is it that they do not get the same opportunities as their more privileged peers? Why can’t they reach their dream careers?

How can you support youth like Aditi to reach their dream careers?

Your contribution will support Antarang Foundation's comprehensive career program for less privileged youth in Mumbai, Pune, Osmanabad, Udaipur, Yamuna Nagar, Goa, and Nagaland. Our career program aims to:

• Guide young people across grades 9-12 in building career aspirations
• Facilitate awareness of all the possible careers in today’s world
• Help youth formulate a path to achieve their goals

Students during our 4-year program across grades 9-12, undergo an aptitude and interest test and receive exposure to multiple industries and personalized career guidance.

The program is delivered by trained career facilitators through a series of activities and experiences in government schools and low-income private schools. These facilitators are trained by Antarang Foundation to deliver the program to students in classrooms. As part of the program, the facilitators counsel the students and parents one-on-one with the help of individual career counseling reports. 

What will youth like Aditi gain through our program?

Students will leave the program aware of their Interests, Aptitude, and Realities; aware of available and emerging career opportunities, and aspire for careers of their choice.

The overall aim of the program is to ensure greater enrolment into higher/vocational education, and lower dropouts and to dramatically reduce the number of students in the NEET category (Not in Education, Employment or Training).

We aim to raise INR 20 lakhs to enable 2500 students from grades 9-12 to reach their dream careers.

You can help thousands of students like Aditi, to plan and reach their dream careers!
