SEEDbridge Skills

We find young people, prepare them in a short bridge course, connect them to the right skill programme, and stay with them until they are working.

Current status: Planned. First bridge course planned for the second half of 2027.

What it is

  • Reach out: meet young people through panchayats, colleges, self-help groups and this website.
  • Prepare: a 4 to 8 week bridge course in spoken English, digital basics, aptitude, résumés, interviews, workplace behaviour and financial literacy.
  • Connect: link each person to a suitable government or partner programme in fields such as IT, manufacturing, green energy, healthcare support, agriculture, retail and banking, entrepreneurship or government jobs.
  • Follow up: check-ins for 12 months after placement, and an alumni network.

How it works

  • We do not duplicate government skill programmes; we help young people reach them and succeed in them.
  • Online, the Opportunities directory lists open courses, internships and apprenticeships.

Who it is for

  • Young people who have left school or college
  • Final-year students
  • Graduates and diploma holders looking for work
