Imagine walking into a vibrant training center in a rural Indian village. Youths are learning to code, fix electronics, or tailor garments—gaining practical skills that could transform their lives. This is the power of vocational education, and the Unessa Foundation is leading the way.
Why Vocational Education Matters?
In India, where over half the youth face unemployment or underemployment (ILO, 2024), traditional academics don’t always work for everyone—especially in rural or underprivileged communities. Vocational training offers job-oriented education, teaching real-world skills like IT, agriculture, and tailoring. For many, it’s a lifeline out of poverty.
The Challenges Youth Face:
Barriers like limited resources, social stigma, gender discrimination, and lack of awareness often block access to career-focused education. But Unessa is tackling these through mobile labs, free training programs, and community outreach.
