Education

Megha Verma

Diversity especially gender diversity has created a buzz in corporate sector. However, the companies are challenged when it comes to getting a pool of qualified women to select from. The companies are spending time, effort and money to train recruits, who have graduated from professional degree programs, to better equip them for their roles. Further up-skilling is required as the employees move from one level to another.As per the findings 50% women are employed globally out of which only 25% in senior leadership role. In India, 40% of the women are unemployed and only 17% are in leader ship roles. This is more so with girls coming from low income social strata, who despite attaining a professional degree are unable to get quality jobs. They lack relevant exposure, skills and role models in their community to help them navigate the complexities of a corporate life and break the glass ceiling. 
 Katayst aims to address these challenges by preparing women in professional education so that they have the knowledge, skills and attitude to get better job opportunities and also move up the career ladder. Economic status has no bearing on the potential of these young women, what they need are opportunities and exposure. Hence, in addition to skill gap Katalyst aims to bridge the socio-economic gap to create level playing field so that these young women can aspire and excel to become transformational leaders. Katalyst achieves this objective through a blend of unique developmental interventions including proprietary and scientifically researched curriculum and personalized mentoring.

Dear All, Pravalikha had applied for deferral in 2021, due to lack of funds, which was approved by NYU Tandon school of Engineering and they allowed her to join her academic session in August 2022. While she was preparing to go for her higher studies in Aug '22, she got a medical emergency due to disk prolapse and arthritis. She has been undergoing medical treatment since then. Although her health is improving, the progress has been very slow. She has been advised by the Doctors to not travel anywhere for 2 - 3 years until her health is fully recovered. Due to her current health condition, Pravalika has decided to take a break from her dream to study abroad and pursue it later when she is healthy. We at Katalyst, wanted to keep you up to date about the funds you have donated for this cause. As we have kept your funds safe with us, we seek your advice to take a decision for the next steps. We will be sending you a detailed email soon. Thank you for your support! Regards,Katalyst team
