will never have to work a day in your life” – Confucius. But in India, people first become engineers and
then figure out what they want to become!
 Through InterestShip, we want them to explore different opportunities and find their true calling before
they jump into something which they don’t like.
Opportunities to work with Industry > Skill Development

lack the skills required for the jobs that are available to them.” Sangeeta Gupta, Senior Vice President,

 “Skill Development among the youth is the need of the hour if we want 21st Century to be India’s
Century” - Shri Narendra Modi
