School to Work (S2W)

The Piramal Foundation for Education Leadership (PFEL) focuses on leadership and behavior change to drive systemic transformation in education. Its mission is to prepare students for the modern workforce. Recently, PFEL launched the "School to Work" (S2W) program under its School of Education & Systems Change (SoESC). This initiative addresses the gap between secondary education and employability in India by equipping students with essential skills, entrepreneurial mindsets, and real-world experience, aiming to reduce unemployment, particularly among youth and women.

Why School to work?

The S2W program is a strategic initiative designed to bridge the gap between education and employment, ensuring that every student is equipped with the necessary skills to thrive in a rapidly changing job market. By fostering a culture of work readiness and entrepreneurship, the program seeks to create sustainable livelihoods and contribute to India's economic growth.

The school to Work program will focus on bridging the "school to work" gap by fostering work readiness capabilities, entrepreneurial mindsets, and apprenticeship culture. Through capability enhancement model S2W brings adolescents closer to the world of work (agriculture, AI, Robotics, services, manufacture). This creates a platform to nurture Youth Aspirations through diverse opportunities to build domain-specific, cross-domain capabilities and mindsets essential to shape their work journeys. It curates school programs and curricula that bring the future world of work to schools[Grades 6 to 12].
