What you are signing up for
TNS India Foundation (TNSIF) is a non-profit development organization with over 10 years of experience in implementing robust, effective and, demand-driven programs working towards national economic reconstruction, with a special focus on women. By connecting capable individuals to transformative opportunities, we have been able to create an enduring impact for them, their families and, communities. More information can be found at www.tnsindiafoundation.org.
Through our program design we work to identify, skill and empower underprivileged youth (age 18- 25, college dropout/college going/recent graduates) through a combination of skills training, career counselling, multi stakeholder engagements and placements. The program embeds itself in the ecosystem and community of the youth which include existing education providers, parents and peers and works to create systemic level change and youth empowerment. The program has worked with over 7000 students in Mumbai in the last four years and is at an exciting stage in its growth. We are actively looking to build on the transformative change we have catalysed on the ground and expanding this to empower more young people across Mumbai and now in Bangalore too. The programs success hinges on young people passionate about other young people, thinking and executing ground-level initiatives that have a measurable impact on youth employability issues, a data-driven yet empathetic approach to managing the dynamic ecosystem and lastly a zeal to take good ideas to scale.
The Youth Employability Program is expanding to encompass sector-specific training in response to overwhelming industry demand for skilling youth in new age entry-level jobs in domains covering (A) Advanced Software Development (coding/programming) and (B) Data Science & Analytics. The sector specific training will be part of our Campus to Technical Careers (C2TC) program. The program will work with underprivileged youth from IT/Science and Computer Programming backgrounds to help them get employed in either traditional software development (enterprise and/or mobile) or data science.
