Skill Development
SNSF has been associated in the area of skill development for more than a quarter of a century. This enduring engagement is a recognition of the reality that skilling represents the critical gap between vocational illiteracy on one hand and sustainable livelihoods on the other.
Over the years, the Foundation has been active in the development of people skills. In the initial days, the Foundation commenced its skill development focus through the para nursing course. This comprised a Health Assistants’ Training Programme across Mulund, Chennai, Jodhalli, Nashik, Hosur, Pune and Dewas. This programme was implemented with the objective to transform relatively untrained individuals into qualified nursing assistants servicing the growing needs of the country’s health care sector.
SNSF’s vocational skill development engagement now comprises 14 training centres in 5 ANAND locations offering 17 courses across 10 disciplines. SNSF’s beneficiaries comprise men and women between 18 and 35 years from economically weak families with annual incomes not exceeding Rs. 2.5 lakhs. From 2012, SNSF began to work for the skilling and job placement of persons with disabilities, with a special focus on those with speech and hearing impairment.
