Vision
“Meet the needs of the growing Indian economy for skilled personnel and alleviate poverty.”
India’s economy is growing at a fast pace. This growth is improving the income level of the people and ushering in prosperity. However, the growth is hampered due to shortage of skilled manpower in all growing industries. The efficiency and quality of work is suffering for want of skilled personnel in various trades. These skills can be imparted by vocational training to boys and girls with school education. The training needs to be job oriented with high element of on-the-job experience and soft skills. KViK’s vision is to impart such training and bridge the gap between demand and supply for skilled Human Resource in the emerging industries.
Mission
“Make poor boys and girls ‘employable’ by training in vocational skills & Empower women in improving their livelihood.”
KViK’s mission is to provide vocational training in trades which are in demand. It aims to extend its reach to towns and villages where large number of young people desirous of making a decent living needs to be skilled to secure employment in the industry and commerce. KViK provides short term (3 to 6 months) training for boys and girls as per government curriculum and fee structure in following skills:
Electrical repair, maintenance & repair of computers, electronic equipment repair and office assistant with TALLY, Plumbing and Carpentry and Tailoring. It has plans to introduce more skills based on the needs of the industry and availability of students. In addition, KViK runs special courses for the following stakeholders:
Eureka Forbes for technicians to install and maintain Water Purifiers.
Vidya, an NGO in education for poor, summer courses in variety of skills to make them employable.
KViK’s mission is to make employable young boys and girls in rural areas by training them skills which are needed in villages and towns, such as repair of computers/smart phones, repair of irrigation pump sets, installation of solar systems, wood working for buildings, furniture making, garment making, and so on. Its focus will be on skills which can used to become a ‘self-entrepreneur’.
A dormitory is being set up near the KViK training centre in Weavers Colony in South Bengaluru to house students from far away villages. The training for these students will be ‘full time’ and will be completed in 2 months.
Cost Effective and High Quality Training
High quality training at reasonable cost will be the corner stones on which KViK has built its credibility and reputation.
Social Objective
Upliftment of people from economically and socially weaker sections of the society by making them ‘employable’.
KViK has been incorporated as a Private Limited Company under section 25 of the Companies Act. Therefore, it is a “not-for-profit” organisation with the sole aim of upliftment of people from economically and socially weaker sections of the society by making them ‘employable’. The courses selected by KViK can be learnt by a student with the basic school education. However, desire to learn, work hard and aptitude to follow discipline and self-development are necessary for a trainee to get placement and do well in a job. KViK’s curriculum provides for developing soft skills, including ‘spoken English’, which is so essential in today’s cosmopolitan nature of life in cities.
