Monica Sarin Foundation on Skilling Youth for Sustainable Livelihoods

Creating sustainable livelihoods requires more than access to education or the promise of a first job. It calls for an ecosystem that connects relevant skills with industry needs, supports long-term career growth and enables individuals to achieve financial independence.

At the Monica Sarin Foundation, this approach informs its work through MS-CASIE, which seeks to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements.
