New Delhi, April 7 (TIWN): Wadhwani Foundation and Wadhwani Catalyst entered into a three-year partnership with Magic Bus to strengthen its L.E.A.P (Lifeskills based Employment Assistance Program. L.E.A.P. is the youth skilling and job placement program of Magic Bus that has already transformed the lives of over 50,000 youth.

This unique initiative will not only ensure that post graduating students continue to be trained well in modern life skills and placed in aspirational job roles in high growth sectors of Banking, IT & ITeS, Sales & Marketing, and Healthcare but also their sustained employment for at least six months with adequate income.  With over 62 per cent of the population in the working-age group and 54 per cent of the population below 25 years of age, Wadhwani Catalyst sees immense potential in investing in the Indian youth. This initiative by Wadhwani Catalyst is well in line with its mission of amplifying impact through grant support to catalyse large-scale job creation. Wadhwani Catalyst will also enable Magic Bus to build better processes and systems for efficiently tracking students post-placement and providing post-placement support.
