Don Bosco Tech Society Honored with AWS re/Start Community Empowerment Award 2024
04 Oct 2024
In a world increasingly driven by IT and cloud technologies, Don Bosco Tech Society has emerged as a vital force in skilling underserved youth for in-demand careers. Our partnership with Accenture Solutions Pvt Ltd, spanning over a decade, has transformed thousands of lives annually through training in service and technical sectors. Recognizing the rising demand for IT professionals, we strategically shifted to include advanced fields like AI and Cloud, collaborating with AWS re/Start to equip 1,500 graduates as certified Cloud Practitioners over the past two years.
This initiative, aimed at NEET youth and women from underserved regions, has been a pivotal experience for both our trainees and their communities. Despite industry preferences for experienced professionals, we've successfully placed over 50% of graduates into full-time roles and internships, securing an average salary of 28,000. Through a rigorous program that balances domain expertise with employability skills, our graduates emerge well-prepared to excel in their roles and drive positive change in their communities.
Our efforts have now been recognized with the prestigious AWS re/Start Community Empowerment Award 2024. This award celebrates our ongoing dedication to community development, particularly in mobilizing individuals from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities for skills training and sustainable employment opportunities in metro areas. It stands as a testament to our commitment to transforming lives and fostering economic growth.
At Don Bosco Tech Society, we are inspired to continue our mission of empowering India's youth, one community at a time. This award further reinforces our pledge to build sustainable futures for those who need it most.
