Don Bosco Tech Society has been conferred the Gold Award for Excellence in SkillTech and Career Solutions at the Economic Times TechEdu India Awards 2026, marking a significant milestone in its two-decade-long mission to empower youth through skill development. The Gold Award was presented to Fr. George Mathew, Executive Director of the Don Bosco Tech Society, who accepted the honour on behalf of the organisation. The recognition coincides with the Society’s 20-year journey in advancing skill-based education and employability among India’s youth.

The award recognises Don Bosco Tech’s leadership in deploying technology-driven solutions to address India’s evolving workforce needs. The organisation has pioneered the use of analytics, blended learning models, and digital credentialing to bridge persistent industry skill gaps, particularly among youth from underserved communities.

With a nationwide network of training centres, Don Bosco Tech Society has trained over 482,000 young people across more than 150 skill domains, ranging from traditional vocational trades to emerging technology-driven roles. Its programmes have achieved a 72 per cent placement rate, reflecting a strong alignment between training curricula and industry requirements. Beyond job placements, the initiatives emphasise hands-on learning, career readiness, and lifelong learning pathways to ensure sustainable employment.

The glittering awards ceremony was held at the NESCO Complex, bringing together leading voices from the education and EdTech sectors, particularly from school and higher education ecosystems. The event celebrated institutions and organisations that have demonstrated innovation, scalability, and impact in technology-enabled education.

The accolade also reinforces Don Bosco Tech’s role in CSR-driven skill development initiatives, closely aligned with national priorities such as Skill India and inclusive growth. Acknowledging the collective effort behind the achievement, the organisation expressed gratitude to its corporate partners, donors, network institutions, staff members, and trainees.
