Youth Mentoring & Career Building

At Umar Farooq Educational Trust, we understand that India’s youth are filled with potential—but many struggle to find the right path due to a lack of guidance, exposure, and skill-building opportunities. That’s why our Youth Mentoring & Career Building program is focused on unlocking that potential through structured mentoring, personal development, and career readiness training.

With a fast-changing job market and rising unemployment, it's no longer enough to have academic knowledge alone. Today’s youth need career clarity, soft skills, real-world exposure, and access to networks that can help them grow. Our mentoring and career building services are designed to bridge that gap and transform ambition into action.

Our Goals

• Provide one-on-one mentoring from experienced professionals
• Guide youth in choosing the right career based on skills & interests
• Build job-ready skills including resume writing, communication & interview preparation
• Connect students to job opportunities, internships, and entrepreneurship resources
