HDFC Bank announced on Sunday that it has trained approximately 3.25 lakh young individuals over the past decade in crucial sectors such as IT/ITeS, healthcare, and manufacturing through its corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative. Highlighting its commitment ahead of World Youth Skills Day on July 15, HDFC Bank emphasized skill development and livelihood enhancement under its Parivartan programme.

Currently undertaking over 100 projects nationwide, HDFC Bank’s efforts span various states and industries including retail, agriculture, and more. Since 2014, their youth training initiatives have aimed to bridge skill gaps necessary for today’s competitive job market.

The programmes, accredited by bodies like the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and Sector Skill Councils, offer certifications vital for careers in emerging fields. Nusrat Pathan, HDFC Bank’s Head of CSR, stressed that these initiatives not only equip youth with job-ready skills but also foster confidence and ambition.

“Our Parivartan programmes are tailored to meet market demands and empower young minds,” Pathan stated. By collaborating strategically and focusing on high-growth sectors, HDFC Bank seeks to build a resilient and inclusive workforce for the future.

The bank’s commitment to skill development underscores its role in addressing youth unemployment and fostering entrepreneurship. As it continues to expand its footprint across India, HDFC Bank remains dedicated to nurturing talent and preparing youth for successful careers in key industries.
