BRIDGE students receive job skills training in all the key elements needed to find gainful employment in the organised or semi-organised sector. In other words, the program prevents the youth from ending up in the unorganised sector where the opportunity to build a career is vastly limited due to lack of proper skills training.
The program prepares students to find the first job in their life and includes industry demand-driven modules:
Every day, students get one hour coaching on Spoken English, Basic Computers (with hands-on experience) and Value Education.
BRIDGE (Bosch’s Response to India’s Development and Growth through Employability Enhancement) is a pioneering Bosch CSR program that helps fulfilling the growing need for skilled manpower across sectors in India.
This 3-month short-term program has been designed and developed by Bosch with focus on employability and life skills and delivered by Bosch through BRIDGE Centers across India.
As of July 2016, more than 4,500 students (school dropout youth) have been trained and placed. 100 percent of BRIDGE students receive job placement offers. Most of them are first-generation employees to get into the formal job sector, where the remuneration and working conditions are far more organised and reasonable. Thus, BRIDGE offers a foundation for the young school dropouts to enter into decent jobs and build their life and career from thereon.
