ETASHA Society
Established as a not-for-profit organisation in January 2006, ETASHA (Enabling and Training Adolescents for Successful and Healthy Adulthood) provides market-oriented employability and vocational skills to disadvantaged Indian youth (aged 15-30 years). Our career guidance workshops and short-term training programmes equip them for entry-level jobs in the organised sector, in industries such as retail, accounting, hospitality and business process outsourcing. Believing that 'teaching how to fish is better than giving fish to eat', ETASHA trains underprivileged youth in market-oriented employability skills and helps place them at the start of a career and a meaningful job. Strengthened by our positive living skills and social confidence, these youngsters enter a world of possibilities...of meaningful work... and life... Other programmes include Career Guidance for school going adolescents; Training of ITI trainers and trainees; Women's Entrepreneurship Programme to enable women from low-resource settings to be financially independent.
