This initiative strengthens the objective of creating dignified employment opportunities for women and their meaningful participation in the economy.”

The 10-hour online programme includes structured learning on interpersonal skills, impactful writing skills, financial literacy, workplace safety and the use of productivity tools required in modern work environments.
