NAAM believes that employment outcomes for young people can be maximised with access to quality education and career linkages.
While working with the youth, NAAM realised that many young people, particularly those from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds, struggle to find stable employment because they lack finances for paying fees, guidance and inroads into higher education institutions. One of the ways to improve the labour market outcomes for young people, is to provide them with linkages to institutes and support for higher education.
NAAM has established linkages with two educational institutes offering higher education across Maharashtra. We acknowledge the contribution of these colleges for providing a free quota for children from suicide-affected farmer’s families. NAAM refers studious and needy students to reputed educational institutes, where they can avail free education and short courses. Priority is given to students of suicide-affected families. NAAM has referred 49 students to MGM University, Aurangabad and Gurukul classes, for courses like engineering, nursing, polytechnic, hotel management and IIT preparation.
