training completed free of cost against a mandatory apprenticeship of 3-6 months during

Students will need to furnish an undertaking of satisfactory completion of the apprenticeship.
Similarly, the organization offering the apprenticeship needs to furnish an undertaking
assuring the trainees an environment that is safe and conducive to learning
The apprenticeship undertaking serve as a binding contract on the student and failure to
honor it attracts considerable penalty. Standard apprenticeship regulations apply to
organizations

9. The Impact
ACCESS
Students from economically weaker strata not only deserve a
fair chance at employment oriented education but they can
considerably diversify and deepen the pool of talent. In our
labor surplus economy since access to the job market is
critical, we are removing the important barrier of financing for
the deserving & needy students
AFFORDABILITY
Vocational education fee structures are rigid due to capacity
utilization being low. We create batches of students and
negotiate the best rates from training service providers.
Further we leverage our extensive corporate donor
network to source pro-bono trainers & mentors making our
programs among the lowest cost
SUSTAINABILITY
Our goal extends well past philanthropy. We aim to bring
about sustainable change by looking at our sponsorees
not as beneficiaries but as agents of social impact
and change. Today's sponsoree is tomorrow's donor,
mentor, teacher and evangelist thus making our
projects self sustaining.
STANDARDIZATION
By making our training programs standardized, modular and
fungible with qualification packs designed by industry, trade
associations, universities and NSDC we impart easily
recognizable skills leading to improved placement
outcomes and a scaffolding for future upskilling
