2017 Grant Cycle

For the 2017 grant cycle we had received over 320 applications and after a rigorous process of evaluation, selected 23 NGOs to receive grant from HSBC Skills for Life. They collectively will train over 11,000 youth over the next two years and place at least 70% of them in formal employment.

Deloitte is the Monitoring & Evaluation partner in this grant cycle and an orientation workshop was organized in October 2017, in Mumbai to acquaint the NGO with the reporting requirements and our expectations from the projects.

The 23 NGOs selected have trained 10,865 youth and placed nearly 6,580 in employment.
