Our livelihoods portfolio has three components: skilling and placement/self-employment; linking workers with government schemes; and strengthening government programmes. The skills portfolio is primarily job or self-employment oriented. During the current year, we collaborated with 13 NGOs and trained 731 candidates during this period.
We intend to develop as an aggregator of aggregators by creating a platform which brings together all relevant stakeholders and links them with each other, depending on specific requirements.
In collaboration with Department of Employment & Training, Government of Jharkhand, OneStage is developing a platform for career opportunities. This platform or the Job & Skill alliance will create an ecosystem for jobs and ensure job stickiness through skill building and linking the needs of employees and employers. Overall, the vision of OneStage is to become an Aggregator of Aggregators through this alliance which will have participation of recruitment firms, NGOs, employers and employees. The alliance will also ensure economic participation of women by providing job opportunities suitable to their skills and requirements.
