Turn Skill Training Into Sustainable Livelihoods
Dheya's RAPD-powered career mapping gives NGOs the missing direction layer — turning generic skill training into measurable employment outcomes.
The Skilling-to-Employment Gap
India trains millions of youth every year — but most programmes miss the most critical ingredient: helping each person discover which career actually fits them.
Training Without Direction
Skill training programmes deliver job-ready certificates but no career direction. Beneficiaries complete courses without knowing which career suits their actual strengths.
One-Size-Fits-All
Generic counselling sessions that don't account for individual differences in aptitude, interest, personality, or family background — leading to poor employment fit.
No Impact Measurement
Donors and CSR funders increasingly demand outcome data, but most NGOs lack systems to track employment rates, income levels, and long-term impact beyond programme completion.
