Theory of Change:
Provide required skills to unemployed youth from economically challenged families so that they start a meaningful career in the service sector. This leads to three distinct changes. The entire family comes out of poverty for good. The young girls, who form majority of our beneficiaries, are able to be financially independent and make decisions about their own lives. This has a cascading impact on their own families as they project their confidence into the next generation as well. These employed youngsters become role models and inspire others in their community to dream big and aim for big jobs. Success story of Mamata Naik
Mamata Naik, from rural village near Sagara always dreamt having a job and being financially independent . She completed her BCOM with the hope that it will enable her to get placed and be self- sufficient. She was shortlisted for many interviews, but lack of hands-on training and employability skills came in her way of impressing the employers with her skills, knowledge, and ability. She enrolled herself for the placement linked training program at the Yuvajaya's Career Connect Course. Post completing her training, Mamata, got placed with Accenture as a Platform Experience New Associate. For her fellow village girls, Mamata is a role model to look up to and get inspired. Mamata is highly grateful to Yuvajaya Foundation for the overall guidance and support she received to realize her dreams
