Yashaswi Group launched India’s first Learn & Earn program in 2010. Inspired by Germany’s Dual Education Model, the program is designed to provide industry-relevant skill development courses that blend work-integrated learning with real-world experience. It combines On-The-Job training with a formal education and a monthly stipend, ensuring trainees gain both academic knowledge and practical exposure.
The program offers multiple pathways, such as a diploma, an advanced diploma, and skill-building courses. As a flagship skill development initiative, it aims to empower socioeconomically weaker youth by providing job-oriented courses after 10th and 12th with meaningful and career-focused technical education. Recognised for its impact, the program was awarded “India’s Best Skill Initiative” by the National Skill Development Agency in 2015.
Today, the program has over 25,000 active trainees successfully pursuing their theoretical knowledge while earning valuable industry experience through vocational training courses and apprenticeship programs in India.
