Why Skills Training?
In today’s job market, education alone is not enough. Young people need practical, hands-on training that bridges the gap between education and employment. Aasraa equips underserved youth with industry-relevant skills that prepare them not only for today’s jobs but also for the opportunities of tomorrow. This is more than creating employment, it is about breaking the cycle of poverty, restoring dignity, and fostering a future where every individual has the chance to succeed.


Skills For A Better Future
In April 2023, Aasraa, in collaboration with Gyan Jyoti Trust, launched the SkillAbility Center to provide skills training to marginalized youth. Focusing on underserved youth in Dehradun and Uttarakhand who have either dropped out of school or struggled to find employment due to a lack of skills, the Center offers tailored courses that align with job market demands, helping them secure meaningful livelihoods.
