Career Awareness and Readiness Program
StateAntarang's Career Program is a four-year intensive school-to-work transition program conducted in government and low-income private schools across grades 9 to 12. The facilitation conducted enables youth to be aware of the career possibilities available to them, helping them formulate a path to reach success and achieve better outcomes for their future and life aspirations.
The program is delivered by trained career facilitators who are trained by the Antarang Foundation to deliver the program to students in classrooms. As part of the program, the facilitators counsel the students and parents one-on-one with the help of individual career counselling reports.
The overall aim of the program is to ensure greater enrollment in higher/vocational education, lower dropouts, and dramatically reduce the number of students in the NEET category (Not in Education, Employment, or Training).
Antarang has nurtured over 200,000 aspirations since 2013

Theory of Change
More than 70 million youth in India live at or below the poverty line, with little access to healthcare or quality education, thus severely limiting their ability to aspire for a future that enables socio-economic progress. Less than 27% of them actually complete school. Around 30% of them cited economic factors and the inability to cope with education as primary reasons for dropping out of school. High dropout rates lead to unemployment or low-wage employment that perpetuates the intergenerational cycle of poverty. It is this lack of awareness and access to opportunity that perpetuates social and economic inequity that Antarang is solving.
Antarang Foundation is a registered Indian not-for-profit organization that enables adolescents and young adults to make the transition from education to employment. Antarang envisions a world where every young adult is productively, passionately, and positively engaged in a career of their choice. Our model focuses on the simple philosophy that young adults have an innate sense of agency once they know what and how to. We:
1. Build awareness of career opportunities
2. Build clear aspiration
3. Build employability skills and the ability to make informed career decisions
4. Provide access to career opportunities
