The Flipkart Foundation and Smile Foundation have entered into a mindful collaboration to launch industry-specific skill training programs tailored to the needs of underserved youth. This intervention is crucial because young people facing job insecurity often grapple with additional challenges like low self-esteem and confidence. Bridging this gap ensures that marginalised youth have better opportunities for employment.
Our market-focused and innovative training programs focus on the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector, utilising fully digitalised content. The program offers 220 hours of training to youth, with a special focus on women and underserved communities.
This training program not only enhances youth employability, but also empowers them to access better jobs in the organised sector. The teaching methods and BFSI-specific curriculum equip these young individuals with a deep understanding of industry-related intricacies.
Most importantly, we adhere to industry standards, ensuring that the training is both relevant and practical. Ultimately, the project aims to improve their quality of life and contribute to the financial well-being of their families.
In the face of inadequate living conditions and unemployment, securing a dignified livelihood is a pressing need for underserved youth. This intervention is a significant step toward making that a reality. Through our collaboration and dedicated efforts, these individuals are empowered to shape a brighter future for themselves.
At the core of our partnership with Smile Foundation lies a commitment to not only empower the Indian youth but to uplift entire communities. Through these impactful initiatives, we hope to create an environment of shared responsibility, fostering a spirit of community building that goes beyond skill training.
