Overview
To address the pinching need for skilled employees in various industries in India
and to create employment opportunities for the youth dropping out of school,
Pratham Education Foundation started an initiative called Pratham Institute for
Literacy, Education and Vocational Training. Pratham Institute (PI) works across
the country to provide individuals with employability skills needed to address the
India’s growing need for skilled manpower.
Pratham Institute targets students who have dropped out of school or have
completed their formal education up to 8th or 10th grade. These youth are forced
to drop education mid way to cater to their family and financial needs. Our
objective is to facilitate quality and holistic education by spreading awareness,
building self confidence in them and empower youth with hands on skills to
enable attainment of livelihoods and a way out of poverty.
