The Apprentice Project (TAP)
The Apprentice Project (TAP) is a for-impact organization determined to transform Government/low-income schools by offering holistic development of all children. TAP empowers students with social and emotional skills via digital modules in Financial Skills, Arts and STEM. These skills are critical to finding success and thriving in the 21st Century. THE PROBLEM 1 out of 3 children who drop out of school do not find education necessary. Of those who do graduate 47% of them are unemployable as they lack essential skills. THE SOLUTION TAP has built an Ed-Tech solution for school students from low-income families in India. We use TAP Buddy, a WhatsApp chatbot, powered by a natural language processor and AI-based technology with gamified behavioural nudges to deliver specialised courses that develop critical skills. THE TEAM TAP aims to empower children from low-income schools to be leaders of today and tomorrow. The TAP core team (Co-founders and Leadership) comprises alumni from Harvard University, the Indian Institute of Management, and Teach for India. The TAP Leadership team believes that all children irrespective of their background should get the skills and resources to realize who they are and achieve what they want to do. TAP is supported by Harvard University, IIM Bangalore, Nudge Foundation, Capgemini, Schlumberger, and others. In 2022-23 TAP impacted 12,000+ children across India through the online model.
