OVERVIEW

Our Entrepreneurship Programs

An intervention for a self-sustain model for Training & Skill Development

Foresight put forward entrepreneurship as means for economic empowerment and creating better employment opportunities. Since her independence, India have been faced with many issues which create different divisions within society like rich & poor,  rural & urban, educated & illiterate etc.

Now in the 21st century, we are encountering another division which can be termed as “digital divide” between people having access to IT & Internet and those who do not have this privilege.

To bridge this divide, the Foresight Society adopted one primary objective to provide IT training on an affordable cost for improved digital literacy & IT employable skills.

ACTION

What has been done

It was observed that youth belonging to families with limited income find it difficult to afford costly IT training.   With this background, Foresight developed and evolved social enterprise model by partnering with First Generation Entrepreneurs to set up training centers under the model of social franchising where in maximum revenue remain with training center with complete support from Foresight Society.

IMPACT

How has it Helped

To build a network of IT Training Centers, Foresight started a campaign among youth in the age group of 22 to 35 years by conducting workshops, seminars and orientation sessions on the issue of digital divide. Also indicating the scope of a social business model and encouraging them to join this mission by adopting entrepreneurship as career.  Though it was tough to mould these young minds but preparing them for the exciting journey of entrepreneurship has delivered a successful social enterprise model.

A campaign for entrepreneurship was taken up & seminars & workshops were conducted in Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad & Ahmedabad and as result more than 100 First Generation Entrepreneurs have emerged
