Skill Development

Skills development is a primary means of enabling young people to make a smooth transition to work. A comprehensive approach is required to integrate young women and men in the labour market, including relevant and quality skills training, labour market information, career guidance and employment services, recognition of prior learning, incorporating entrepreneurship with training and effective skills forecasting. Improved basic education and core work skills are particularly important to enable youth to engage in lifelong learning as well as transition to the labour market. Progressive Development Initiative was initiated with the conviction that empowerment of youth and women forms one of the cornerstones for their holistic development. Therefore the programme along with other modes of intervention also focuses on imparting life skill education to girls and women in its intervention areas.

- To impart training in employable skills to vulnerable male and female.

- To build the capacity of potential trainees and develop market linkages for the sustainability of community livelihood.

- To prepare trainees and artisans for a social change in the community through moral education and developing social values.

We are in the process of starting skill development centre's in partnership with one of our key promoters across 15 locations in north India. The surveys are being conducted and we plan to invest in our communities in order to help start livelihood related skill training.In partnership with JSS a ministry of HRD body.
