Skill Development for Girls: The Power Tool for Tomorrow’s Workforce

In a world that’s evolving at lightning speed, skill development is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. As technology reshapes industries and digitalization transforms economies, the demand for a future-ready, skilled workforce has never been higher. And while this global shift opens exciting opportunities, it also highlights a glaring gap—accessibility for the underprivileged, especially girls in rural and semi-urban India.

The Global Call for Skills

According to the India Skills Report 2025, published by Wheebox, in collaboration with AICTE, CII, and the Association of Indian Universities, the future workforce will be defined by adaptability, tech proficiency, and sustainability-driven mindsets. The study draws insights from over 6.5 lakh youth and 1,000 corporations across 15 industries, and it reveals a striking reality:

• AI will fuel a $1.81 trillion global market by 2030, requiring skilled professionals in data, algorithms, and machine learning.
• Cloud computing and automation roles are expected to grow by 50% by 2025, as digital transformation accelerates across industries.
• With the rise of green energy and sustainability, jobs in renewable resources and energy efficiency are becoming core to national agendas.
• Healthcare sectors worldwide face talent shortages—Europe alone needs 1.6 million additional workers by 2030.
• Digital skills are now non-negotiable, with 20 million digitally skilled professionals needed in Europe’s IT industry by 2030.

Clearly, the future belongs to those who are equipped not just with degrees, but with relevant, evolving skills.

Likhari Foundation: Building Futures from the Ground Up

At Likhari Foundation, we believe every girl deserves a fair chance to be part of this future—regardless of her socio-economic background. Our mission is to empower underprivileged girls through education and hands-on skill development, enabling them to rise with dignity and financial independence.

Our approach is holistic:

• We identify and support girls who show potential but lack resources.
• We mentor them with guidance from industry experts.
• We train them in market-relevant skills—digital literacy, communication, basic finance, and vocational training.
• We help them transition into workspaces, or even launch their own entrepreneurial ventures.

A Catalyst for Change

We’re not just bridging gaps—we're rewriting narratives. In a country where gender inequality still limits access to opportunities, skill development for girls is the equalizer. And Likhari Foundation is proud to be a catalyst in this movement, helping young women not only dream, but achieve.

Because when a girl is skilled, she doesn’t just change her own future—she uplifts her entire community.

Join us in this mission, support, refer, or mentor a girl today and help us shape a more inclusive, skilled, and empowered tomorrow.
