The project aims to engage industry partners with training mandates for the youth in Meghalaya through a Managed Services Operating Partner (MSOP) to provide exposure and gainful employment to them through dedicated networks and established strategies. Asian Development Bank (ADB) is assisting the Government of Meghalaya improve the state’s secondary education and vocational training, so that graduates are better equipped to find high-quality jobs.
We helped mobilise, train, and place nearly 2,600 youth with technical, non-technical, and service-oriented skills at par with international standards with leading companies across various cities in India. We provided market-based orientation to 500 youth for developing business plans, doing technical and financial feasibility analysis, establishing forward and backward linkages, and building capacities to help set up enterprises, thus transforming them into successful entrepreneurs with sustainable livelihood opportunities.
