Shipra Sharma Bhutani, from Capacita Connect, is helping migrants learn new skills and be absorbed by companies across sectors
33-year-old Pawan from Jaipur is one of the millions of Indians who lost their job due to the global Covid-19 pandemic. However, with a little help with upskilling and training from a government-approved course, she is now making masks and managing a girls’ hostel in her town.
Pawan got this help thanks to Capacita Connect, an organisation geared towards getting migrants and labourers trained and job-ready in these unprecedented times.
The online platform helps match skilled human resources with specific requirements of industries. Amazingly, Capacita Connect claims over 20,000 migrants have taken their services, upgrading their skills and landing jobs since March, 2020. Here’s how all this happened.
