This 3-month program has been designed and developed to focus on employability and Life Skills - to get a job, perform at the job and excel at it.

CREST has been working with girls from 1st STD to 10th STD through the GIRL CHILD EDUCATION program. We have nurtured, educated, and nourished these little women for the past 22 years. We don't wish to stop there. With the help of our sponsors of the Girl Child Education program and new sponsors, we are able to create a medium to support higher education for those girls who are nursing Under-Graduation dreams. The sponsors are required to directly remit the fees of the beneficiaries to the institutions they join, while CREST identifies the girls, vets their eligibility, sincerity, perseverance, and grit to complete the Under Graduation Course, and monitors their progress for three years, providing feedback to the sponsors. Currently, 5 girls are being supported by 3 sponsors.
CREST, in partnership with BOSCH India Foundation, a CSR project, has identified the growing need for professional caregivers. This project is intended for young people who are interested in serving the elderly and building a career in this field. A large population of older citizens are reliant on receiving care from professionals and settings. A caregiver's responsibilities include basic paramedical skills and soft skills. This program is designed to provide a holistic learning experience in order to achieve the core competencies in the candidate's ability to perform well at work.
It was a privilege to commence the first ever course themed Life Skills and Soft Skills + Smart Parking Technology as a pilot project. Besides the Life Skills and Soft Skills, the objective was to impart training in installation and operation of involving CCTv Cameras, Boom Barriers, Motion Detectors, Radio Frequency Identification, etc.
Identifying and selecting candidates with an aptitude for an advanced technical program, required CREST to redraw the campaign efforts and ultimately we assembled 19 candidates for the Course.
The course was conducted between August 2022 and October 2022.
