When women are full participants in a country's politics or economy, societies are more likely to succeed.
Indian women may have more access to education than before but their desire for a career remain unfulfilled due to lack of resources or oppressive cultural norms. With Upasana, female college graduates with a passion to teach, get the support system they need to get their careers kickstarted. Upasana also proves to be a great career reboot program for many women from different walks of life who had to undergo a break in their work life due to various reasons such as marriage, maternity, caring for elderly or sick family members, etcetera.
Starting 2018, Shraddha Maanu has connected with 130+ female graduates in both rural and urban areas, and got them started on their teaching journeys.
These women faced diverse obstacles with their careers - lack of structural and emotional support, limited access to training, or lack of awareness or confidence. Now, they form a tightly-knit community at Upasana, and empower themselves and their primary-school students.
01
Upasana's trainees are trained by volunteering individuals in English, Math, and Science through multiple intelligence methodology (verbal, logical, intra/inter-personal, kinesthetic, visual and musical).
02
The trainees attend 100 hours of online/offline/hybrid sessions over 2-3 months in batch sizes of 20-30, and undergo 3 months of on-the-job training, Following which they are assessed and certified.
03
Our mentorship program ensures that the trainees have all the support they need to conduct and manage classes, and achieve set goals. This is also a factor that makes Upasana a great second chance program for women restarting their career after a break.
