Brief introduction about the organization:
Antarang Foundation is an organization that bridges the gap between Education and Employability for youth. Through our structured programs, Antarang guides youth on Career choice trains them in core Employability Skills, connects them to Employment opportunities of their choice and continues to Mentor them through a network of mentors until they integrate well into careers of their choice.

Over the past 4 years, Antarang has worked with ~25000 young adults across ~ 60-night schools, ~ 25-day schools, through 19 community-based career service centers and 5 senior colleges across Mumbai in the core areas of Career Guidance and Work Readiness with youth.

We have been affiliated with and conducted several batches of our CareeReady Employability Skills Program at P. N. Doshi College, Ghatkopar, MMP Shah College, Matunga, MD College, Parel, Gurunanak College, GTB and MD Shah Mahila College, Malad, IY College, Jogeshwari and more other colleges.

  2. Career Awareness – detailed information on 8-10 popular Career choices are given and students’ Fitment is assessed
  3. Work Skills and Work Ethics – grooming, personal presentation, communication, stress & anger management, interview readiness, and essential employability work ethics

Antarang’s CareeReady Program
The CareeReady program is a career readiness and employability skills training program for youth in the age group of 18 – 25 years. Through partner organisations who work on the ground, Team Antarang identify youth in vulnerable communities who are at risk, and spread awareness about the program and its benefits amongst them.

Once a student signs up to the CareeReady program, he/she undergoes a well-defined regiment of development and training. The course equips students with self-awareness, career awareness, work ethics and etiquettes, effective communications skills and basic computer literacy. At the end of the program, successful graduates are linked to relevant opportunities in their chosen careers. Antarang continues to mentor its students until they integrate well into the organised sector workforce. All Antarang graduates are confident young adults, who uphold our values of Regularity, Punctuality, Initiative and Stability.

About the Antarang Foundation: Building self-reliance in youth
Close to 1 million youngsters turn 18 every month, of whom an overwhelming 50% do not complete high school. Over time, this has resulted in millions of young adults who can neither afford higher education nor secure decent employment.

What then happens to these young minds? Some indulge in delinquent behaviour, while others are forced to work in exploitative conditions. Underage girls are married off and become pregnant. And a staggering 55,000 youth give into substance addiction every day. All this, when roughly 1,17,000 new jobs are created every single quarter and an acute shortage of skills has been reported across all sectors to fulfil these jobs.

This is where we come in. Antarang Foundation envisions a world where every young person is passionately, productively and positively engaged in a career of their choice. Through two career focused programs, CareerAware and CareeReady, the foundation works to bridge the Employability gap that exists amongst disadvantaged youth. The programs deliver career guidance, develop core employability skills, and finally link students with career opportunities.

About Placement Cell

The Student Placement Cell helps students procure not mere jobs but also a career in some cases. This improves the marketability of the course (B.Com). Some of our ex-students, now in good executive positions, visit our institution and recruit students. Since we are a night college, most of our students are employed. Our institution helps them in getting better jobs or improving their existing prospects. Placement is a responsibility of the institution which is earnestly undertaken by the placement cell of the college. Better placed jobs enhance the good will of the institution and increase admissions too! As a policy we encourage and regularly entertain pre-placement talks by corporates in various sectors. Companies and trainees conduct many interviews and give pre–placement talk.
