Our Training Programs

YouthNet has taken a significant step in addressing the high unemployment rate in the state by partnering with Accenture’s ‘Skills to Succeed’ global initiative through Quest Alliance.

The program is designed to provide participants with comprehensive training in Retail Management, Employability, and Work Skills.

Lack of proper guidance at an early stage is one of the leading causes of Youth unemployment these days. Even an advanced degree can’t protect some of our best from tumbling down. We believe in honing other essential skills required in today’s competitive world. Understanding the importance of this newly raised important aspect, most of the educational institutions in India have initiated programs, projects and activities for their students.

Career guidance is a means of empowerment for students to make informed decisions and be responsible for their future, from choices on their learning, occupations, career goals and other aspects of life. Career guidance encourages students to make smarter career decisions in accordance with their interests, abilities and prepares them for the future.
