Objectives:
• To equip the underprivileged youth with employable technical, communication, and entrepreneurial skills.
• Career and life skill training to youths to enhance employability.
• To sensitize parental community on economic opportunities for their children and gender equity.
• To provide a livelihood of dignity and independence for women living in the most poverty- stricken areas of Bangalore rural through holistic training in employable skills.
• To empower the underprivileged youth to leverage/mobilize working capital.
We also conducted a situation analysis study during 2016 with regards to the current problems faced by youth in rural and urban Bangalore and other rural parts of Karnataka, to get a close view of employment opportunities for these youth as they are unskilled and find difficult to work in any job sectors. The findings from the need based assessment was that majority of the youth lack skills and therefore are struggling hard to excel in their career. In order to close the gap, Reaching Hand established the skill training and placement program for youths in Bangalore Urban and Rural. The Pratishtha team tries to fulfil the requirement of these youths during their enrolment to our training centre through counselling. During mobilization process, we identify the area of interest these youth would like to work. We train them and help them to get employed in suitable jobs in various sectors like retail, tele-marketing, automobile, teaching etc. The placement is based on their geographical and demographic profile and the job opportunities available for these youths according to their qualification, skills and demand of job in their surroundings.

Hema joined this course in the month of January 2020. She resides in Ramurthinagar and had to change 2 buses to reach the centre. She completed her graduation in B.Sc. (PMCs). Even though she completed graduation, she did not get any job opportunity. She attended many interviews, but she was not selected in any of the interview she attended as she lacked communication skills and was feeling very low.
