In 2017, The Shahani Trust launched an initiative to provide job oriented Diplomas in disciplines like Banking, Digital Marketing, Real Estate & Management to India’s disadvantaged youth.
More than 200 young people with limited education & english skills have been developed via these short term programs and placed in white collar jobs in top banks, financial institutions & media companies in India at salaries upto Rs. 450,000 per annum.
We are able to do this through the help of scholarships from foundations, corporates & individual donors who align with our vision of building employability among the underprivileged.
