Bangalore: Adecco India has entered into a collaboration with Jagriti Sewa Sansthan, an organization dedicated to promoting rural entrepreneurship in India. The collaboration aims to create a training program that focuses on skills development in the Purvanchal region. Adecco India, being a leading global workforce provider, will utilize its expertise and capabilities to provide incubation support to Jagriti Sewa Sansthan, thereby contributing to the establishment of a thriving Rural Entrepreneurship Ecosystem in three districts of Purvanchal.
The primary objective of this initiative is to enhance the employability of young individuals by imparting market-oriented skills. Adecco India will concentrate on teaching essential skills such as communication, presentation, and personality development, which are valuable for both job seekers and aspiring entrepreneurs. By equipping young people with these skills, the collaboration aims to bridge the existing skills gap and enable them to succeed in their chosen fields.
Mr. Ajay Sethi, the Country Head of Adecco India, expressed the importance of focusing on future skills to address the growing skills gap, particularly among the youth. He believes that partnering with the Rural Entrepreneurship Development program will lay a solid foundation for their sustainable future. Mr. Sethi further emphasized that Jagriti Sewa Sansthan is an ideal partner for Adecco India in terms of building employability, and this collaboration will empower young individuals with the necessary skills to thrive in their professional endeavors.
Mr. Ashutosh Kumar, the CEO of Jagriti, acknowledged that young talents in underprivileged areas of India possess great potential to contribute to the country’s growth. However, due to lack of support, their talents often go unrecognized. He stressed the importance of creating a supportive ecosystem with a long-term vision to unlock their potential. Mr. Kumar expressed his delight in joining hands with Adecco India to establish such ecosystems for skilling and entrepreneurship in eastern Uttar Pradesh.
As part of its commitment to sustainable social initiatives, Adecco India has pledged an annual contribution of Rs. 50 lakhs to Jagriti Sewa Sansthan. This financial support will assist in the development of the Rural Entrepreneurship Ecosystem and provide education and job training opportunities, particularly for underserved populations.
In conclusion, the collaboration between Adecco India and Jagriti Sewa Sansthan aims to foster rural entrepreneurship and empower young talents in the Purvanchal region of India. By providing skills development training and incubation support, this partnership strives to create a sustainable ecosystem that enables young individuals to thrive in their professional pursuits.
