Labour who come to Udaipur in search of work, there are also any educated youth who are engaged in the construction sector. Since they do not have access to relevant information and not possess any particular skills, they have to work as unskilled labourers in bottom-end jobs in the construction sector. Our efforts are directed to organize camps at both source and destination ends and link youth to different training programs through which they can be given employment opportunities. Jandaksha partnered with STEP Academy in organizing these training programs.
Our Skill Training, Employability and Placement (STEP) Academy is a unique learning institution dedicated to building technical and life skill competencies among rural youth. STEP Academy reaches youth who are at the threshold of starting work or have entered labour markets in low waged, hazardous work. In more recent years, STEP has also made concerted efforts towards increasing its outreach to young women, designing and hosting a variety of trainings that promote non-traditional livelihoods.
STEP Academy has trained thousands of the rural youth both men and women. It has played a vital role in improving wages, business incomes and job security for youth from disadvantaged background.
