One of the biggest challenges for a country like India with over a billion people is employment generation. Especially for youth from underprivileged communities who lack basic education. The percentage of unqualified and unemployed youth from poor families residing in slums and in villages in India is fairly high. They lack exposure and skills that are required to be employed.

The Applied Materials Foundation has partnered with United Way of Bengaluru and its local partner Unnati to train with marketable skills and provide entry level jobs to youth in India. The objective is to encourage them to join the workforce and become productive citizens of the country.
