Medha embeds career services in low-resource public education institutions in India. They aim to prepare millions of youth for a good job and good life after formal education. Their recipe for career services is an engaging curriculum to develop marketable skills, action learning in a workplace, and connection to an active alumni network. They set up youth to take the first big step from education to meaningful employment, leading to greater workforce participation and income in the long run.
