Karuvi foundation helps for the Youth Empowerment and Skill Development

Empowerment of youth is a process through which they  experience a sense of control over their lives, making choices and making informed decisions. Younger people feel they are experiencing an empowerment process when they feel listened to, understood and feel they can make decisions for themselves thus having control over their own lives. As the term suggests, youth empowerment means acquiring power, when we talk about power we do not mean the exercise of one dominion over the other, rather we are talking about all those ways in which they manage to exert an influence on the other, therefore of a increased influence in social relationships at all levels of these relationships, from those of a couple to those between a person and a group.

What actually is Skill Development and what are the impacts it creates among youth?

Faced with the profound changes that, in recent decades, have affected the labor market, how can we help people - and above all young people - to relate, in the best possible way, with this context, inter alia in continuous and fast transformation?

From many quarters it is suggested to also acquire "transversal skills" - to be continuously strengthened - and to combine them at best with one's own technical skills. In general, technical skills (also called hard skills) are those necessary to carry out a certain activity or profession; the basic theoretical technical skills are acquired in a path of education and / or professional training, while their operational deepening takes place through practical experience in the workplace (internships, traineeships, actual work).

The transversal skills (soft skills) represent, instead, personal knowledge, skills and qualities that characterize the way of being of each person in the study, at work and in daily life. Precisely for this reason they are called "transversal", because they do not refer to technical areas or specific knowledge of a subject of study, but they call into question all those aspects of the personality and knowledge that everyone uses every day in different contexts.

Cross-cutting skills emerge when making decisions, when trying to get out of a difficult situation, when trying to change things you don't like, when you are with others, every time you have to learn something new. They are, for example, the ability to communicate one's thoughts well to others, to relate correctly to people respecting their different roles, to work in a group, to be flexible, to be proactive. Karuvi foundation have dealt with the topic of both transversal and technical skills, calling them in various ways; this section of the guide will refer to those identified within, but it is possible to find a more comprehensive picture of the various definitions in part of the guide dedicated to this theme.

Karuvi foundation is always forward for taking actions to strengthen the key technical and professional skills of the unemployed youth and also for the young people with disabilities. Our Karuvi Foundation's Youth Strategical goal is improved in terms of accessibility, visibility and impact to ensure better participation of young people. To many of us the concept of Transversal and Technical Skills is still quite unknown, although they are considered indispensable in world. The list of these skills is long and includes social and communication skills, emotional intelligence and problem solving, adaptability, intercultural work and job specific skills that are merely hard skills.
Unfortunately, it is not easy for schools or media to offer them the right space to develop these skills: if in schools, teachers have an obligation to complete programs and prepare students for exams and often there is no time to explore these life skills.

We, the Karuvi foundation, precisely for this reason, do this wonderful task through Mr. J. Gokulnath. B.E., who is an exceptional entrepreneurial engineering  pro. He helps children who are in need of the opportunity to get to know and develop transversal skills which may not have been sufficiently studied in school.

He helps young people to enlighten themselves with the transversal and technical skills and also guiding them to choose the exact platform to leap to the very heights. Mostly, youth who are living in under developed parts of the state i.e., young people living in slums, unschooled, discontinued, orphanages, rehabilitation centers. He is also helping youth with physical disabilities to learn the comprehensive stock of knowledge to work in a corporate milieu.

Digitization is an opportunity for a Non profit organization

For non-profit organizations, digitization is both an opportunity and a challenge. On the one hand, offer them digital technologies completely new possibilities, e.g. to promote civil society engagement with beneficiaries to interact, network worldwide and make their own work more effective and effective.

On the other hand Non profit organizations must change themselves profoundly if they take the opportunities of digitization for themselves want to use and adequately address social change. You shouldn't just deal with the (New) technologies change, but also be ready to change their own organizational structures and processes, their culture and working methods as well as their orientation and strategy are rigorously put to the test.

The present study examines awareness of the need for change as well as the ability to change in Non-profit sector with a view to digitization. She wants to show what support nonprofits need to better assess the opportunities of digitization and use them positively. This was done in the summer of 2017 more than 160 employees of non-profit organizations interviewed online and by phone.

Changes in the non-profit sector through digitization

• In the non-profit sector, digitization is often equated with the use of digital tools, especially in the area of Public relations (social medias) and for the completion of administrative tasks. The results of the survey show that the majority of the respondents (71%) will strongly or very strongly reduce their own organization in the coming years sees these changes affected.

• In our opinion, many respondents underestimate the importance of structural and procedural changes. Changes for your own organization that are triggered by digitalization. This includes the development of new ones Organizational forms in the non-profit sector, but also the way in which donor behavior or voluntary work Engagement will change in the coming years.

• Around 70% of those surveyed consider it possible to use digital tools to perform administrative tasks (such as membership or Donation management), which is very relevant for your organization. However, only a quarter of the Organizations well prepared for this development. There is obviously still a considerable need for action here.

• It is also very clear that around half of all organizations still have some catching up to do, volunteers over Coordinate digital channels better, use new fundraising channels for themselves, or their offers to beneficiaries to optimize the basis of impact analysis.

• Overall, the fundamental change caused by digitization should be in the overarching strategy of non-profits play an important role. Digitization is a relevant factor on the strategic agenda.

• It is striking that small and young organizations are much more active in tackling upcoming changes than they are
large and established. Here it makes sense to engage more in the exchange and learn from each other.
