The aim of this venture is to effectively tackle the unemployment problem of our rural economy by working towards this goal from two different directions:
1.Drastically raising 'employability' through provision of carefully tailored vocational education that includes technical as well as soft skills and
2.Creating placement opportunities for the students at the end of the program, which involves networking with potential employees and organizing interviews.Creating self-employment opportunities by handholding to support his funding, delivery and distribution efforts.Currently, Excel Consulting is involved with the Project Asha-The rural employability programme that is designed to generate guaranteed income for rural educated employed youths falling under below poverty line. Excel Consulting is currently working in the deep interiors of Tripura and finding out the right candidates, imparting training on soft skills and sales training and in turn employing them in various sectors like retail, distribution, Pharma and BFSI sectors and microfinance companies.The emphasis of this program is on the marginalized youth and providing them with the opportunity of education in a skill that would ensure instant employment. The target age group of the program is between 18-35 years, ranging from the high school dropout, unemployed youngster as well as the occasional professional looking to upgrade their skills. The courses offered range between various entry level skills, mechanics, repairmen, etc. The duration is kept within the period of 2-3 months to ensure maximum benefit within the least time possible, and a greater reach among the local population. The focus of this program is on mass upliftment and not premium education. The idea behind the Skill School projects goes beyond simple provision of technical or specialized knowledge. It is to ensure that the employability of the trainee is greatly enhanced as well. For this, we designed a structure that fine tunes the entire personality of the student, transforming him/her into a more valuable and effective resource for any organization. This involves imparting of soft skills such as spoken English, basic computer training and general job readiness that add to the holistic development of the individual as a capable, future employee.
