About MAST

The Market Aligned Skills Training (MAST) program provides unemployed young people with a comprehensive skills training that equip them with the knowledge and skills needed to secure employment and succeed on the job. MAST not only meets the growing demands of the diversifying local industries, it harnesses youth population to become powerful engines of the economy. MAST begins with a labor market scan in each region, working closely with employers to develop the market-aligned training curricula that form the heart of the program’s skills training. Set over a period of three months, the training combines foundational, workforce readiness skills with industry-specific skills, ranging from retail, basic IT, healthcare to hospitality, creating multi-sector job opportunities for marginalized young people. Upon completion of the training, qualified candidates are placed into entry level jobs, creating a path to financial independence. In addition to private employment partners such as Reliance and ICICI Bank, MAST is aligned with the framework of the National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC).

About The Project

Project “Engage 2 Empower (E2E)” is India’s first of its kind program, which deeply engages the corporate employee volunteers as equal participants in creating a career pathway, through skill enhancement and job access, of marginalized youth, especially females and persons with disabilities.
