At Rao Charitable Trust (RCT), we believe that empowering youth is the cornerstone of building a prosperous and equitable society. Our Youth Development Programs aim to create opportunities for young individuals from vulnerable backgrounds, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and resources needed to thrive in today’s competitive world.

» Key Initiatives

1. Livelihood and Employability Programs Vocational Training: RCT operates specialized training centers offering courses in various trades such as carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, farming, computer hardware, and mobile repair. These programs combine practical and theoretical knowledge to help youth secure jobs or start their businesses.
Job Placement Support: We work closely with industry partners to connect trained individuals to job opportunities, enhancing their employability and financial stability.

2. Upskilling Youth
Skill Development in Construction: Addressing the growing demand for skilled workers in the construction sector, RCT has trained over 2,000 individuals in trades like masonry, carpentry, and electrical work. These skills have enabled beneficiaries to increase their income by 10-30%.
Entrepreneurial Training: We encourage youth to explore entrepreneurship, offering mentorship and support to launch small businesses.

3. Building Resilience in Urban and Rural Areas
Our programs cater to youth in urban slums and rural communities, ensuring they receive equal opportunities to achieve their potential.
Special focus is given to addressing the unique challenges faced by marginalized groups, such as migrants and minorities, in accessing skill development resources.

4. Holistic Development
In addition to skill training, we emphasize soft skills such as communication, teamwork, and leadership to ensure youth are well-prepared for the workplace.
Awareness workshops on financial literacy and career planning empower them to make informed decisions about their futures.
