Wagons Skill Foundation
Initiatives will empower all individuals through improved skills, knowledge,
nationally and internationally recognized qualifications to gain access to decent employment and
ensure India’s competitiveness in the global market.
Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social
development for any country. Countries with higher and better levels of skills adjust more effectively
to the challenges and opportunities of world of work.Major challenge of skill development initiatives
is also to address the needs of huge population by providing skills in order to make them employable
and help them secure decent work.
Skill development for persons working in the unorganized sector is a key
strategy in that direction. This will also inculcate dignity of labour and create greater awareness
towards environmental, safety and health concerns.
Skill building can be viewed as an instrument to improve the effectiveness and
contribution of labor to the overall production. It is as an important ingredient to push the
production possibility frontier outward and to take growth rate of the economy to a higher trajectory.
Skill building could also be seen as an instrument to empower the individual and improve his/her
social acceptance or value.
To empower every person in India with the skills they need to reach their full potential and help build a stronger, more prosperous nation.
To close the skill gap by offering easy-to-understand training and support for people of all ages, especially underprivileged youth and women. We work with companies, government bodies, and educational institutions to create more job opportunities and help people start their own businesses, supporting national initiatives like “Skill India” and “Make in India.”
Our CSR initiative as commitment of business to contribute for sustainable economic development, aims at creating higher standards of living, while preserving profitability of the corporation. The traditional Artisans like Carpenters, Blacksmiths, Goldsmiths, Copper/Bronze smiths, Masons, Stone workers, Bamboo/Cane workers, Potters, Cobblers etc, constitute the vast chunk of labour in the unorganized sector of the Indian economy. Other than inherited skill, these artisans possess neither formal education nor income-generating assets. Besides poverty, these groups are also victims of social and economic exclusion, since there is hardly any national initiative for their inclusive development.
Foundation is committed to bridging the gap between education and employment, particularly in the BFSI sector, and making a lasting impact on the lives of countless individuals and their families. Join us in our mission to empower skills and transform lives.

Our education system doesn’t address the needs of the students who are aspiring for career and a better life. While students learn many subjects, proper attention/focus is not given on how to be successful in career
Overview
Choosing a career is not a very serious affair until Graduation | Post-Graduation. However, once you are done qualification, it is necessary to choose a definite career and decide a career goal. Choosing the right career, keeping the market in mind is necessary. In addition to this, selecting the right education institution is equally important. Unfortunately, many students are unable to discover their potentials and interests at this stage and this is when pressure starts building.
Career Guidance has become important as many students are facing a variety of career challenge. These challenges may include (but are not limited to) dealing with redundancy; seeking a new job; changing careers; returning to work after a career break; building new skills; personal and professional development; going for promotion; and setting up a business. The common aim of the career guide, whatever the situation of the individual being guided, is normally to help that individual gain control of their career and, to some extent, their life.

Career advice and guidance acts as a stepping stone for success. In order to make the right career choice, one must know the path they need to follow. People sought out career counsellors, for a change in careers, only after they got a job and were unhappy with it. Many students make career choices based on the most picked career among their peers. If a student doesn’t pick the right course, it would inadvertently affect their career choice.
To find the right career, there needs to be an understanding of what course to take and if capabilities match interests.Career counselling in schools ensures the right kind of help to take proper career decisions and stop students from making any mistakes. Foundation focused on this need and conducted the session.

Foundation conducted this session as Career Guidance helps the students to understand the perks and disadvantages of pursuing both their interests and aptitudes, also gives them the clarity to make the right decisions. The students appreciated the efforts and said this session will help them in choosing the right career.
Overview
Career Guidance has become important as many students are facing a variety of career challenges. These challenges may include (but are not limited to) dealing with redundancy; seeking a new job; changing careers; returning to work after a career break; building new skills; personal and professional development; going for promotion; and setting up a business. The common aim of the career guide, whatever the situation of the individual being guided, is normally to help that individual gain control of their career and, to some extent, their life. Career choice made turns the life of a person by a great measure. Although salaries matter, if you get into a field which you love, you will be happy all your life. On the other hand, if you just work for those extra bucks alone, you have to regret a lot.
