Rural and under-privileged graduate youth from socially and economically marginalized families need a stepping-stone to stand at par in the job market. Lack of opportunities, exposure, communication skills, confidence and technical knowledge cannot be allowed to chain them to their fate. Youth Employment Program responds to this need of youth and sets them free and equal to acquire meaningful jobs in the industry.
