UNNATI - a vocational training and Social transformation program
The word “Unnati” literally means “progress” or “advancement”. The nature and contents of the program epitomize the meaning of the name and the objective of the program.
At its core, Unnati is a vocational training program aimed at enabling and empowering youngsters from families which are below the poverty line. This 90 day program equips unemployed youth (of 18 years or more) with vocational skills and life-skills, and at the end of the course, ensures employment with reputed organizations. Training is offered in 9 vocations – retail sales, field sales, guest care (hotels), guest care (offices), industrial tailoring, Industrial painting, data entry (for BPO), security services and car driving.
In addition to imparting knowledge and skill in these vocations, Unnati trains the youngsters in life skills, communication, spoken English, values and basic computer usage. Special attention is given to inculcating personal and community values in the youth.
By its very nature, Unnati is a social transformation program, through which we seek to transform the lives of several youngsters and their families. Those who undergo the program emerge ready to not just face society, but to contribute meaningfully to it. By assuring them of a job, Unnati puts the youngsters on their feet and pulls their families above the poverty line in 90 days. Forever.
