ABOUT YAS
In recent times, the Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities have developed a highly advanced learning infrastructure for formal education like engineering, management, medicine etc. These have been the feeder lines for the growing job sector. At the same time, a lot of underprivileged youth from the cities as well as from the rural areas, are seeking to move to the cities or engage in the new-age jobs in their towns or villages. The biggest challenge for them is the lack of quality skill coaching for these jobs, popularly known as vocational courses.
In such a scenario, Yashaswi Group decided to launch an initiative that bridges this gap between youth and skill development. Called the Yashaswi Academy for Skills (YAS), it digs deep into Yashaswi’s legacy of developing need-specific skill courses and grooming the talent appropriately, to make them industry-ready.
Today, YAS is at the forefront of implementing various skill development programmes that are a part of Government of India’s Skill India Mission.
