Skill Development Programme
#SkillToEmpower
TU CIBIL implemented a skill development initiative, Programme Udyog for community youth from low-income groups who struggle to continue their education or enter the job market due to lack of skills or opportunities. The initiative supported skill centers across locations in Maharashtra, providing training in employable courses like BFSI sector, the General Duty Assistant (GDA) course which equip trainees with essential healthcare support skills, enabling them to secure entry‑level jobs in hospitals, clinics, and home‑care services focusing on industry-specific and soft skills. We aim to facilitate employment access and financial independence for these young individuals, empowering them to support themselves and their families.
Under Programme Udyog, TransUnion CIBIL set up Skill Development Academies to create economic independence amongst youth coming from under-resourced communities. The following is the implementation process of this programme.
Here is the story of Heena, a TU CIBIL supported student for the skill training.
Background: Heena Rayeen grew up as the eldest of six siblings in a family of eight, where every day was shaped by financial limitations. With her father working tirelessly as an auto rickshaw driver and her mother managing the household, Heena carried not just responsibility but the quiet burden of putting her dreams on hold.
Interventions: A turning point came when Heena discovered the GDA training programme. Over two months Heena transformed. She gained critical healthcare skills while also building confidence, discipline, and empathy. Heena’s tireless determination to work made her gain a glorious opportunity to start her professional journey.
Impact: Heena completed her job training and stands ready to begin her career in a hospital setting, not just as an employee but as a pillar of support for her family. Her story is not just about skill development, it reminds us of all about dignity, opportunity, and transformation.
I am immensely grateful for the invaluable opportunities and support provided to me throughout my journey with your esteemed institution. Your programme taught me a lot about banking and gave me the skills and confidence I needed to pursue my goals in this field.
The activities and teaching methods were interesting, and the lessons really helped me grow. I am now better prepared to navigate the challenges of the professional world and contribute positively to my family's well-being.
Thank you for believing in me and giving me the chance to excel. I am excited about the future and deeply appreciative of the impact your programme has had on my life.
