Why is career guidance important?
103 million young adults are neither in school nor in college or working. Where are they? What will their future be?

India is home to one of the world’s youngest populations, with over half its citizens under the age of 30. Yet, 3 in 10 young Indians are NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training)
48% of young adults in India drop out before finishing high school. When a young adult drops out of education and is not engaged in productive work, it has long-term consequences. They earn much less than their peers even in the long term, their family incomes and socio-economic status are severely impacted, and their mental health is impaired. Research shows that falling into the NEET status is not only, first and foremost, a loss of young people’s potential, but spending a long time in this status can have long-lasting consequences, propelling them into a cycle of unemployment that is hard to break.


How does Antarang solve the NEET problem?
Antarang solves this problem by building career education ecosystems with public high schools at the centre. By mainstreaming career education in every public high school curriculum through trained career facilitators, our programs help students identify their goals, build the right skills, and connect with high-paying careers. From engaging parents to collaborating with local industries, we help youth overcome obstacles and create pathways to success.
