YuWaah

To bridge the gap between the demand and supply of apprenticeship opportunities and enhance their appeal to both young individuals and employers, YuWaah established an apprenticeship working group. This group, consisting of 16 stakeholders, including young people, examined the existing challenges within the apprenticeship ecosystem and proposed a path forward. Additionally, a pilot programme was conducted in Telangana, shedding light on the specific issues faced by both young individuals and employers in the apprenticeship system. Leveraging the insights gained from the pilot programme, along with the expertise of the working group members, YuWaah compiled a policy paper containing actionable recommendations to address these challenges and improve the overall apprenticeship experience.

As part of its initiatives, YuWaah has launched the Step Up-Bano Job Ready pilot programme, aimed at offering personalized assistance to young individuals seeking employment. This programme establishes dedicated job support centres, ensuring greater accessibility to job opportunities. Currently, the pilot is being implemented in Delhi-NCR, targeting 1,000 job-seekers between the ages of 19 and 29.

The Learn to Earn Programme by YuWaah, in collaboration with Flyvheel Digital Solutions, aims to equip young individuals with the necessary skills for sales and human resources roles. This programme not only provides valuable information about the required skill sets but also offers opportunities for young people to earn through referrals and the sale of digital products facilitated by Flyvheel.

In collaboration with the Government of Delhi, YuWaah has developed the Rozgar Bazar Portal, which has witnessed over 1.3 million registrations and facilitated around 15,000 job opportunities within the initial 8 months of the partnership. Demonstrating its expertise in this field, YuWaah is actively assisting the Government in enhancing the capabilities of Rozgar Bazar 2.0. This includes improving the job matching process and introducing value-added services like upskilling to further benefit job seekers and employers utilizing the platform.

Recognizing the difficulties faced by young job seekers in navigating new-age job portals, YuWaah has taken the initiative to address this challenge through "Career Awareness Sessions." These sessions provide direct interactions between job portal partners and young individuals, aiming to familiarize them with the portals, offer insights into the journey of a fresher in the job market, and highlight the unique features and advantages of these platforms. YuWaah has been actively conducting these sessions in collaboration with esteemed academic institutions such as IGNOU, School of Open Learning, and DSEU.
