Our Focus Area
We prepare youth for employment and entrepreneurship opportunities by working at the intersection of education and livelihood.
Our aim is to integrate vocational education with mainstream education at secondary and higher secondary education level (Grade 9-12 and student Age 14 to 18).
HOW WE DO IT?
We work with the government and government-aided schools to introduce vocational education as a core component of the school curriculum.
We set up labs with requisite tools and equipment, recruit and train qualified vocational trainers, arrange internship opportunities for the students, get them assessed and certified followed by placement support.
CURRENT SCALE
Direct Implementation:
150+ schools | 10,000 + Students
In partnership with State Governments:
10,000+ schools | 1 million + Students
PARTNERSHIPS WITH STATE GOVERNMENTS
We bridge the gap between policy and execution of it by providing technical and project management support to the state governments to scale up vocational education.
Our team members are co-located within the state department of education helping the state not only to formulate the policy for vocational education but also ensure effective execution.
Currently, 50+ staff members of Lend A Hand India are supporting 24 states across India.
