About the Programme

The Udayan Care Information Technology Programme planted its roots in 2004, with the goal of bringing technology closer to underserved communities and using it as a tool to improve their opportunities of livelihood. Udayan Care introduces and elevates the levels of computer literacy among youth, helping them keep up with the newly digitised world. The programme provides the youth, children and women from economically weaker sections access to IT skills. It empowers them through digital literacy and job- oriented skill training, in courses, ranging from graphic design, accounting softwares, desktop Publishing, etc.

Udayan Care has empaneled with National Skill Development Corporation, NSDC in Jan’22 for 11 of its IT training centers. NSDC partnership will help Udayan Care IT center programme youth to provide specific skill training and help us to place youth in relevant entry level jobs to sustain their livelihood. It will also help us to make our centres hub of learning. Our partnership with NSDC is as a Non funding partner for training in five sectors (IT-ITes, Retail, Logistics, Telecom and BFSI). The partnership will enable us to enroll 5000 young adults in three years with 70% of placement of certified youth.

Programme Objective

Digital Literacy

The programme’s core objective is to improve the lives of underserved youth and women by fostering digital literacy. The courses impart within our students essential computer knowledge, language and interpersonal skills that enable them to use technology to enhance their employability. The programme imparts IT skills to disadvantaged sections such as slums, resettlement colonies and other low-income neighbourhoods, with a strong focus on youth and women. Therefore, to ensure gender equality we make sure that about half of our enrolees are women!

Empowering Youth with Holistic growth

To empower the disadvantaged youth, women and children and impart them with holistic growth and development, we train them in honing their soft skills. Regular sessions aimed at personality development and leadership building coupled with co-curricular activities help promote peer bonding and foster team spirit. Our enrollees emerge as confident job seekers, enriched with the ability to make informed decisions.

Inspiring careers

We are convinced that exposing students to the skills and information aligned with their choice of career paths, enhances their confidence. Therefore, we continuously work to connect different resource persons from corporate to facilitate sessions and workshops. The programme also facilitates one on one  interaction of the students with corporates and professionals, to ensure maximum industry exposure and career guidance.

Social Impact on Community

Enrolment at our IT centres brings change in the personal, financial and social status of the beneficiaries, coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. Enriched by the exposure of interactions with individuals from different walks of life and learning the desired skill sets, they evolve into confident and responsible members of modern urban society, help their family financially also contributed in national economy.

Placement Assistance

Our placement cell has been working actively to bridge the gap between demand and supply of the youth workforce. Equipped with career counselling, job readiness, training, and assistance to get placement in a relevant field with decent entry level salary. Our team built relations with 80 companies (BPO, KPO, MSME, Accounting firms, Publication House etc.) for providing desired job opportunities to our students which would help them sustain their livelihood and make them financially independent.
