Infosys Foundation, the philanthropic and CSR arm of Infosys, today announced the launch of Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program to enable half a million job seekers in India to gain meaningful employment by 2030. Infosys Foundation has committed over INR 200 crore for the first phase of this program. Infosys Springboard, the flagship digital learning platform from Infosys, will offer support not just for learning and skilling, but also opportunities for learners to have sustainable livelihoods and careers.
The Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program focuses on job creation for both graduate and undergraduate youth across STEM and non-STEM industries. The Program will also provide, through Infosys Springboard, additional industry-relevant curricula in cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, and in functions like digital marketing and finance. In addition, foundational modules on communication skills, time management, and interview preparation will help learners and job seekers develop essential workplace competencies.
Infosys Foundation is collaborating with nearly 20 implementation partners, including ICT Academy, Unnati, Nirmaan, Magic Bus, Aga Khan Rural Support Programme, Centum, CII Foundation, and NIIT Foundation, to curate diverse job opportunities and create meaningful career pathways.
Sumit Virmani, Trustee, Infosys Foundation, said, “The big opportunity in our country is to focus on skilling initiatives to meet industry and AI-age demands, and then shape a path from learning to livelihood. The Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program is conceptualized to meet this urgent need. The Program reflects Infosys Foundation’s commitment to bridge the gap between learning and fostering sustainable livelihoods. By partnering with experts and investing in industry-relevant curricula, the Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program empowers talented youth in India to skill themselves to secure and sustain rewarding careers, thereby also paving the way for job creation to drive the country’s advancement and economic growth.”
V Srikanth, Chief Executive Officer, ICT Academy, said, “The demand for a workforce skilled in advanced IT, KPO, BFSI, Retail, e-commerce, and logistics has never been higher. Through Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program, Infosys Foundation is investing in the long-term career success of students enabling enhanced career and employability opportunities and providing them the confidence to navigate and excel in a dynamic professional landscape. We are proud to collaborate with Infosys Foundation to help build a stronger, future-ready India by empowering its next generation.”
Ramesh Swamy, Founder, Unnati Foundation, said, “By recognizing the urgency of skilling and employment, Infosys Foundation has demonstrated its commitment to addressing the demographic challenge of youth unemployment through the Infosys Springboard Livelihood Program. This collaborative initiative, which Unnati is proud to be part of, has the potential to be a game-changer in the lives of unemployed youth, akin to the transformative impact of the mid-day meal scheme for underprivileged children.”
