A new Smile Twin e-Learning Programme (STeP) centre was launched to train 120 youth from the Sunkadakatte slum area in Bengaluru in market-oriented job skills such as computer education, basic management, English communication, and other soft skills.
The community is home to a largely migrant population, working on daily wages as tailors, carpenters, auto drivers, and painters.
In addition, the youth will be provided hands-on training at their prospective workplaces and further placed at lucrative positions with major retail and service outlets in the city.
