Our hope is that enabling our trainees with essential skills will set them on a path to meaningful employment.
Our curriculum is focused on confidence-building and teaches essential life skills necessary for any individual to integrate well in society. Personal hygiene and grooming, social skills and appropriate sexual behavior are some of our focus areas. We also guide the trainees on making friends, workplace manners, handling money, negotiating public transport and more to make them confident citizens as they go out into the world.
Our trainees perform everyday chores to build independence and get an experience of the
‘real world’. They shop at the market, email and message friends, write and post letters
and prepare meals, just like anyone else.
Our staff members help trainees assess their aptitudes and interests to make a career choice that’s aligned with their abilities and preferences.
As part of the curriculum trainees work in our offices, schools, and intervention center as class assistants, support staff and in gatekeeping roles.
With the support of organizations around Dehradun, we have increasingly been able to secure internships and full-time jobs for our trainees. In the past our trainees have worked as office assistants (PSI Dehradun), Shopkeeper assistants, Guest Service Associates (Red Fox), Warehouse assistants (Suvidha store) as well as in other self-employment roles.
