Swabodhini stepped in to our new venture, Assisted Employment Program with lot of hope and ambition. Our first of its kind “place and train” Assisted Employment Program was initiated in 2021 in partnership with Grundfos Pumps India Private Limited. The Assisted Employment Unit started functioning within the premises of Grundfos and trains the students of Swabodhini’s Vocational students on the job and places them in to mainstream employment wherever possible. Our students are given an opportunity to be on the same footing as their peers, and also to actively contribute to their family by earning a monthly stipend.
The ambitious “Assisted Employment Program” which is a first of its kind initiative follows a “place and train” approach to inclusive employment. Students will be placed first and will be trained to transition from school to work environment in a structured manner. Students will be given a firsthand experience of real job environment and a qualified “job coach” would assist and train the students in their transition by slowly easing them in to social and professional etiquettes.
