About the Organization:
Since 2013, Antarang Foundation has been one of the leading voices in bringing
employability and career development into the mainstream education narrative.
We believe that education which does not lead to social and economic progress is
incomplete – and hence employability and aspirational careers need to be accessible to all young adults across the socioeconomic spectrum.
Antarang Foundation builds key employability skills in disadvantaged youth in urban low-income settlements. Through two structured programs, Antarang guides students on career choice, trains them in core employability skills, and connects them to employment opportunities of their choice.
