With 65% of the population below the age of 35, India is liable for  a demographic dividend. Paired with advances in technology, unlocking the potential and aspirations of young people will be key to transforming the economy. With as many as 4 million youngsters between the ages of 15 and 29 set to enter the workforce each year for the next two decades, there is a pressing need to direct efforts towards enabling them with skills to make them more future-ready.

Anchored around employability skills and career development, MyQuest has been designed to empower youth in a world that will demand constant learning, unlearning and relearning. The program works with 16-24 year-olds to build their skills on digital literacy, workplace readiness, life skills and career development through blended-learning modules that enable self-learning.

Directed not just at young people but the full spectrum of stakeholders including organizations that work in this endeavour, the program’s strategy is built on creating an impact across the entire ecosystem. The program harnesses innovative tools – including a comprehensive blended digital self-learning material – in its experiential group activities and classroom sessions. This is designed to motivate trainers to learn new facilitation skills, as well as enable students to develop market-oriented skills while building their confidence.
