Program Overview:

TBL is working with a client which has a foundation of its own. The Foundation, since 2018, works towards bringing in social change that helps in attaining a better life. The Foundation believes in early intervention, sustained engagement, and focused outcomes which is key to their CSR program. From their experiences of the past few years, the foundation has realized, unless they start with one group and take them through all the four stages of: “Life Skills” development, “Exposure” to skilling, “Mentoring” to identify their personal passion, and finally “Skilling” for employment, they will not be able to bring in sustainable change in individual’s lives.

The foundation addresses the above transformation by working through multiple partners on the following projects:

• Project 1: Life Skills Development which focuses on comprehensive child development (grades 5 to 8) considering various factors that can be nurtured to excel in their life.
• Project 2: Exposure to Skilling which focuses on developing awareness about skilling and giving hands-on experience to students from grades 8 to 10.
• Project 3: Skilling for Employment which focuses on youth (post 12th grade / 18 years of age) who are interested in the automobile sector by skilling them under the ASDC guidelines and certifying them to join the workforce simultaneously working on placement for each and every graduate.

The prime geographical focus of the foundation is to create a measurable impact in the Chakan area, Khed Block.
