the vital relation of education with prosperity of individuals,
communities and nation at large is a well-founded fact. the focus on
bringing every child of the nation into the fold of the education system
is a reality today. Plaguing the system is access to quality education,
absenteeism and dropout. the fulfillment of education comes through
employment generation which is exasperatingly low due to lack of
quality education. the circumstances are severe in the regions where
the population for decades has remained marginalized.

the initiatives of aPPl Foundation under the vertical of skill and
education, focuses on strengthening the existing education system and
ensuring children and other marginalized groups receive continuous
quality academic and life skill education. Building employability skill
in youth through skill based trainings is a major area of focus for the
Foundation. We have adopted a multifaceted approach to build spaces
conducive for education culminating into employment.

Beside skill development

training we instill civic

responsibility in our trainees

“Hands on training” is key to the success of the
youths trained at our Vocational Training Centres.
