The Southern part of Kolkata has places like Chetla, Tollygunge, Kalighat, and New Alipore etc which are filled with slums and the youth here are involved in jobs which pay on a daily basis and are contractual. The pay is not good and since they are unskilled the youth are used as cheap labor. The poor conditions of their families have compelled the youth to get involved in menial labor to earn a living for their family.

The main aim of the project is to identify such youth and give them skill based training so that they can have privileges in the job market and earn through white collar jobs. Under this programme Management and retail training, spoken English, personality development, computer education and other soft skills are imparted.

Smile Foundation has partnered with Tommorow’s Foundation for the implementation of this STeP project.

With India’s Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), and Mumbai’s two Pepsi plants in Govandi and Mahul, it is a much known place. But it is also in news for other reasons such as for being the country’s largest dumping ground. People of lower income group live in these areas working as scavengers in the garbage dumps and hence, do not even think about education or hygiene. . Children and youth in these areas are either drop-outs or left studies after completing their 10th or 12th standard.

This project aims to bring these youth and impart to them basic skills which would make the job market more accessible for them. Under this project basic management skills, spoken English, personality development and other soft skills are imparted so that the youth acquire these skills and get placed at proper white collar jobs. Placements are also done at the end of the project.

Smile Foundation has partnered with Rashtrasant Tukdoji Maharaj Shikshan Va Arogya Prasarak Mandal for implementing this project.

Haiderpur along with its six sister blocks- Shalimar village, Sahipur, Badli, Rampur, Samaypur and Rajapur have a population in which maximum people belong to the lower income groups and have less education. it consists of a mixed bag of individuals with around 70% of its population consisting of migrants from Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. These migrants work majorly in the unorganized sector as daily wage workers, domestic workers, rickshaw pullers, rag pickers and masons. Youth in the area constitute 40% of the population of the area. They lack english speaking skills which seems to be a major hindrance in their pursuit of developing their lives. There is an urgent need to cater to the needs of these individuals and make them market ready for their effective contribution in the growth of the nation.

The aim of this project is to train the youth in basic retail and management skills, spoken English skills, personality development, computer and other soft skills. The project will address the acquisition of knowledge, practical competencies, knowhow and attitudes necessary to perform a certain trade or occupation in the employment sector.
