It takes a village to raise a child, more so in today’s world where technology is rapidly evolving, education is becoming more specialized, and new job roles are being invented every year. It’s therefore more confusing than ever for young people to plan for their careers and lives.

Achieving success in the new world requires young people to be better aware of their own interests and aptitude. They need greater exposure to emerging education and career options. Confidence, problem solving, teamwork and other life skills play an even bigger role in determining success and in the face of expensive tuition fees, students need to be more financially savvy.

Eka works with its fellows over a long period of time, starting from the end of the 8th standard until they secure their first jobs, to enable all the above. The program aims to enable and support our fellows in achieving quantum outcomes in career and life through long term, tailored and holistic support.
