Employment & Entrepreneurship

Creating sustainable livelihoods through job skills and startup support.

Why This Matters?

Meaningful employment is the cornerstone of a dignified life, yet millions of skilled and semi-skilled individuals in India struggle to find stable jobs. The disconnect between academic qualifications and industry requirements creates a significant employability gap. Simultaneously, countless aspiring entrepreneurs with brilliant ideas lack the mentorship, resources, and business acumen to transform their vision into reality. This untapped potential hinders both individual growth and national economic progress.

At S.A.N.D.I.P. Foundation, we are committed to tackling unemployment head-on by creating direct pathways to both jobs and self-employment, empowering individuals to become financially independent.

We create a robust ecosystem that supports individuals at every stage of their career journey, from skill acquisition to job placement and new venture creation.

Job-Oriented Skilling Programs We offer intensive, practical training courses designed in collaboration with industry experts. These programs focus on high-demand sectors such as IT support, healthcare assistance, retail management, and skilled trades, ensuring our graduates are job-ready from day one.

Entrepreneurship Development Program (EDP) We guide aspiring entrepreneurs through the entire process of starting a business. This includes idea validation, business plan creation, financial literacy, marketing strategies, and understanding legal compliance.
