Udayan Skilling & Livelihood Program aims to equip youth from resource-poor backgrounds with IT/ITES skills, Vocational Skills, Green Skills, and Employable skills. The program also facilitates job placements for its students, maintaining an average placement rate of >70%. The program tracks students for one year after placements and has been able to deliver a <5% attrition. Since its inception in 2004, the Skilling program has trained more than 35,000 youth in 26 centres in 5 states.
As per the World Bank & CMIE Survey estimates, India needs to create at least 90 million new non-farm jobs by 2030 to absorb new workers. 50% of India's population is below the age of 25 Years. 13MN youth join the job market every year in India. This has led to an abundance of supply and kept the wages low. At the same time, only 2% of the workforce is formally skilled. Skill gap is the single biggest contributory factor for unemployment among youth.
Udayan Care's Information Technology Skill Centre program began in 2004 to help underserved youth and adults improve their livelihood options. Our centres offer certificate and diploma courses in basic and advanced computer applications. The curriculum includes spoken English, life skills, and job readiness training. Our 25 IT Centres in 6 States have impacted over 35,000 and placed over 70% in jobs. 2 centres for Green Skills are planned in 2025 to contribute to the sustainable EV ecosystem.
With training and career counselling through our placement assistance, our students can get better jobs with incomes increasing by at least 20-25%, thus improving the standard of living of their families. This program empowers disadvantaged children and youth with informed choices/decisions and actions related to personal, financial, and social uplift. Since its inception, our 25 IT centres have equipped over 35,000 students across 5 states of India. >50% of our students are young women.
