(MissionNewswire) Don Bosco Dhisha, located in Hyderabad, India, in collaboration with the Salesian Diocese of Khammam, successfully facilitated employment for 467 young job seekers at a job fair. The event attracted more than 780 participants and featured 27 companies across sectors such as IT, banking, health care, and manufacturing.
Bishop Prakash Sagili, who spoke at the event, told youth, “Today you are job seekers. Tomorrow, strive to become job givers.” The job fair served as a beacon of hope, emphasizing the Salesian focus to empower youth through education and opportunity.
A Salesian noted, “Salesian education is tailored to the local job market. Salesian schools work hard to understand what employment sectors need qualified staff and we work to fill those gaps. Our students, most of whom come from disadvantaged backgrounds, learn skills that are highly sought after in the local economy. This allows them to make a smoother school-to-work transition, enabling them to find and retain long-term employment and ensuring their self-sufficiency.”
Access to professional training and workforce development services is highly valued in India. India’s youth face a lack of educational opportunities due to issues of caste, class and gender. Almost 44% of the workforce is illiterate and less than 10% of the working-age population has completed a secondary education. In addition, many secondary school graduates do not have the knowledge and skills to compete in today’s changing job market.
India has the world’s fourth largest economy but more than 22% of the country lives in poverty. About 31% of the world’s multidimensionally poor children live in India, according to a report by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative.
