Leveraging Technology to Bridge The Skill Gap

 

In alignment with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Project TechConnect is committed to equipping marginalized communities with 21st-century digital skills. As technology reshapes industries and economic opportunities, we ensure that underserved individuals are not left behind. Through building ICT and AI Training Hubs, running Digital Literacy campaigns for non-IT literates, providing skill training courses to youth, and running skill readiness training and career guidance labs, we are empowering communities to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
