DHISHA – Don Bosco Job Placement Network and Career Services, Hyderabad, India
Don Bosco Job Placement Network is a national program aimed at providing youth services such as career counseling, job services, and employment for youth migrating from rural to urban areas or from different parts of the country in search of better job opportunities. The goal of this program is to ensure that youth have support services to be better equipped of being employed by good employers, and be effective on the job. Our career office – DHISHA was established in 2004 to render such services to the community, over 1,500 youth directly benefit from our services every year. For the coming three years, we seek to grow our impact by providing similar youth services to youth residing in Vijayawada and Vishakhapatnam. We plan on organizing more career fairs and growing our network of employers from 55 businesses today to over 100. Apart from providing career services, staff members employed in this program will travel to schools, colleges, and technical schools that are part of our network and others to organize workshops on the state of the job market and promising career opportunities available for youth and young people today.

Youth Outreach Services, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, India
Our organization works with donors and institutions to help support the holistic development of youth and young people in our region. In recent years issues relating to bullying and various forms of abuse such as child neglect and peer pressure undermine the holistic development and formation of youth and young people in our region. In order to ensure that youth and young people possess the virtues required for mature human development, our organization has organized a major program aimed at providing motivational workshops, vocational discernment programs, and formation programs for students studying in private schools, colleges, and technical schools in our region. These workshops extend to teachers, staff, and administrators of these issues to train such personnel on how to handle conflicts, address problems occurring at home, and help youth grow in a safe and mature environment. We aim to reach around 80 academic institutions in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and beyond (Odisha) in the coming three years and organize regular workshops throughout the year within these institutions.
