FEA's primary aim is to "give the disadvantaged youth of India, a path to professional jobs"​ by providing a free one-year intensive coaching program for the youth alongside an upcoming Mentorship program and Career counseling. The coaching chiefly encompasses English, non-cognitive skills, digital skills and lifelong learning through MOOC delivered in the form of a dynamic mixture of tech, peer interaction and lecture-based learning methods.

FEA offers two different free programs, in north India’s Hindi belt, for urban youth and for rural youth to build productive and ethical mindsets and core employability skills.

The urban program. This program for youth in the 17+ age group is of one-year duration. Students attend in-person classes at neighborhood FEA branches for 1 hour 40 minutes a day, six days a week.

The rural program. This program for youth in the 18+ age group is of one-year duration. Students attend classes at FEA branches in their villages for two and half hours per day, six days a week.

FEA currently reaches out to 50,000+ students with the help of 570+ branches in 8 states of north India in both urban and rural areas. Our curriculum is taken from best practices at top universities globally. Both curriculums build productive and ethical mindsets, English language skills, and digital literacy skills.

Additionally, since nobody can really know what the careers of the future will look like, FEA teaches students how to continue learning on their own after the program ends and stresses the virtue of being adaptable to workforce changes.
FEA Impact
A Large-Scale Randomized Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Freedom Employability Academy conducted by Stanford University researchers found that by doing the FEA urban course students make an additional Rs. 53 Lacs (Rs. 5.3 million) over their career.
