The goal is to help 50,000 young Indians (over 4 years), with a 60% concentration on empowering women.

It is a public-private partnership (PPP) approach that places a stronger emphasis on giving trainees work prospects than just granting training certificates.

The SIB examines how the epidemic has affected women’s employment, reduces obstacles to keeping women in the workforce, and makes use of resources and knowledge from the private sector.

It also promotes knowledge sharing and the adoption of best practises in order to develop the ecosystem of technical and vocational education in India.
