The Motivation<br />
Globally, two thirds of women shoulder a majority of the<br />
responsibilities as primary caretaker and food producer for their<br />
families.<br />
Providing women a greater voice in the decision-making process<br />
at the home and in the community holds great potential for<br />
strengthening both family and society systems. Vocational<br />
education and training is an effective way to empower women,<br />
yet the current vocational training model in India is unable to<br />
meet demand. Limited educational opportunities and a lack<br />
of monetary resources, financial support, and societal barriers,<br />
further limit the ability of women to participate in economic<br />
decision-making.<br />
Women constitute approximately 68% of the unskilled<br />
population in India[1], in large part because providing training<br />
to this population is paralyzed by several factors. The degree<br />
of urbanization in India is one of the lowest in the world with<br />
approximately 70 percent of the total population living in rural/<br />
tribal areas – which means that accessibility to education for the<br />
targeted populations is extremely limited[2].<br />
