The United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund is seeking applications for Advancing STEM Education and Enhanced Employability Skills for Adolescents in Uttar Pradesh.
The project will support adolescents in their transition from school to work by introducing career guidance, job shadowing and exposure to STEM professionals. These efforts aim to bridge the gap between education and employability, reduce youth unemployment and foster a more inclusive, future-ready workforce. This initiative seeks to create a scalable model that addresses regional disparities while contributing to national goals. Empowering adolescents, especially girls with the skills and confidence to participate in the digital economy is not only a matter of equity but a strategic imperative for the states and the nations development.
