We believe, A truly empowered youth is the one who has progressed from 'being employed' to 'being employable'. This project is a medium term engagement with students of night colleges. All our students come from financially challenged backgrounds and work during the day to fund their education expenses. They are usually engaged in low skill and hence low paying jobs (e.g. office assistants, canteen staff etc). However there is a hope to move into better paying jobs post their graduation.
Since minimum requirement in most jobs is an acceptable level of spoken English, through our sessions we intend to empower this target group thereby allowing them to stake claim to employment opportunities which are commensurate with their educational qualification. (Inability to speak English means languishing in the same old jobs despite having a graduation degree). |
