OUR PAST AND FUTURE

Youth Skill India was formed as a response to the numerous discussions, roundtables, reports, and policy papers on how Indian’s youth employment outcomes could be improved.

 

In 2017, the Indian government’s Expert Panel on Youth Employment released a report, calling for “a multi-sectoral roundtable of employers to establish a hiring goal or challenge, including a specific focus on vulnerable youth.” The time was ripe to create a coalition willing to innovate, test ideas, and look for scalable solutions, and a group of employers and community stakeholders did just that, setting an ambitious target for NEET(not in education, employment or training) youth hiring across the country. The result was Opportunity For All Youth, which officially launched May 2021, supported by DIPP and our valuable employer and community partners

 

Now funded by the Government of Indian’s Youth Skills program, we are based at Youth Skill & Empowerment, and our coalition’s impact continues to grow every day.
