Networking for effective change
President Franklin Roosevelt once said – “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future“. A community is as strong and vibrant as the morale of its youth. In our analysis, the present day youths of our community in Punjab, are going through a period of extreme uncertainty and low morale. Lack of proper guidance and mentorship, is one reason that they are fumbling for answers and direction. Our board, team members and volunteers possess the necessary depth of professional experience to act as mentors & steer these budding leaders of our community in the right direction.

Frequently asked questions !!
How can I help in the Youth Employment ?
There are many ways in which you help the Sikh youth employment project. Some of which are mentioned below:
1. You can sponsor our youth training programs.
2. You can volunteer your time and impart skills acquired in the corporate world e.g Managment, Problem solving, Interview preparation etc.
3. If you are running a business/company you can hire the youth who have applied to our organization.
4. If you are working for a company you can help provide a referral or info of upcoming jobs to the interested candidates.
5. Lastly you can be a Mentor to a candidate and help them find their feet in the corporate world.
What kinds of skills shall be imparted in your trainings?
While we intend to increase the types of course offerings, as of we are planning to start with soft-skills trainings only e.g
- Leadership Skills.
- Teamwork
- Communication Skills
- Problem-Solving Skills
- Work Ethic
- Flexibility/Adaptability
- Interpersonal Skill
Why are you not offering any other skills e.g Accounting, Programming?
Currently, we have noticed that youths of our community are seriously lacking in these interpersonal skills. While they do have some kind of a degree/diploma or have already undertaken such trainings, they are still not being considered for a job due to lack people skills.
