Youth4work is playing a major role in helping the youth to introspect, self-assess, improve and showcase their talents – reaping the demographic dividend by pursuing the youth towards skill development opportunities aligned to industry standards. The present-day jobs are skill-oriented and the demand of hiring skilled people is higher than those with just the degrees.

In the last 3 years,we have grown from 10,000 to 2,000,000 users enabling them to self-assess through skill tests from the comforts of their home, improve and showcase their skills to find opportunities,” says Rachit Jain, Founder and CEO, Youth4work.
