Skilling & Employability

Skilling & Employability of women and youth

PCI India focuses on addressing the critical need for a skilled and employable workforce in India. We dedicate ourselves to equip women and youth with the vital tools and training to bridge the gap between education and employability in India.

The Challenge:

    • 381 million young people face inadequate education, leaving them vulnerable and without sustainable livelihood options.
    • High dropout rates and skills mismatch exacerbate the problem, creating a vicious cycle of poverty and unemployment.
