"AISE contributes to the Skill India initiative by empowering unemployed youth in informal sectors with skills, marketing their services to the corporate world"

Metamorphosing into a Social Enterprise
Kickstarted its operations in 2004 as outsourcing services provider to the hospitality industry, Atheos Infra solutions, owing to its consistent quality & reliability, achieved a whopping Rs.50 million annual turnover and established its presence across four states in India by 2013. Each challenge the company has encountered since its inception has given it fresh impetus. As Atheos Infrasolutions has been winning the trust of the country’s most quality conscious & discerning clients, it created an alternative to the expensive yet unorganized service sector by instituting a flexible and uncomplicated business model that was also process-oriented and accountable.

Having handled the day-to-day operations of giant organizations and meeting their quality expectations for over a decade, Atheos Infrasolutions clearly understands the industry’s needs & the opportunities it offers. It noticed that many Indian youth lacked the exact skills needed to benefit from these opportunities, while the industry was struggling with the scarcity of skilled manpower. Determined to bridge this gap, the company provided a solution by employing these jobseekers and training them to work at its client facilities. Taking this successful endeavour to the next level, Atheos Infrasolutions started its own vocational training institute – Atheos Institute Skill Excellence (AISE) in Palakkad(Kerala). “Our search for means to sustain our growth momentum led us to innovate and transform ourselves into a social enterprise,” remarks Rajesh.

Upskilling the Indian Youth
AISE contributes to the Skill India initiative by empowering unemployed youth in informal sectors with skills, marketing their services to the corporate world, and ensuring that these workers enjoy financial inclusion, social protection and welfare services. Endeavouring to achieve empowerment, capacity building and social transformation, Atheos Infrasolutions strives to bring the marginalised members of society back into the mainstream, and helps them succeed despite their initial disadvantages. “Our main objective is the proper execution of
our strategy to benefit the whole community through regular interventions at the levels of child development and youth empowerment with extra emphasis on the girl child, women and the differently abled,” adds Rajesh.

An authorised Training provider for Ministry of Skill Development, NSDC, PMKVY, MESC and THSC, AISE’s Continuous Personal Development Programme(CPD) and training programs are aligned with the Skill India initiative and the Indian Government’s vision for skill development. Its courses are customised to local conditions and incorporate its in-depth knowledge of the business environment. Besides vocational skills, the institute also provides soft skills & attitude changes, industry-oriented training with a job role specific curriculum and career guidance, which equip every student to play a role in India’s evolving, growing economy.

"We aim to be among India’s leading social enterprises, to foster empowerment and to increase real income and productivity through R&D"

The students’ journey to a fulfilling career begins with an assessment of aptitude & skill levels, followed by enrolment in employment-oriented training course, where they are trained with sector skill council approved curriculum by instructors with practical knowledge. Once its students attain the government certification for job roles defined by industry & sector skill councils, they are placed in a secure job with better career growth prospects.

Fostering Empowerment
Currently training and equipping youth for careers in tourism & hospitality, media & entertainment, agriculture and healthcare sectors, AISE intends to expand into many more sectors. The company is driven by the mission of creating sustainable livelihoods for half a million youth by building a robust education, employability and employment ecosystem. Atheos Infrasolutions aims to establish an all India presence by 2020 and bring standardised, high quality and job-oriented training to many other industry sectors such as apparel, IT & ITeS, automobile and domestic work as well.

The company will also be preparing its students for global opportunities with international certifications. “We aim to be among India’s leading social enterprises to foster empowerment and increase real income and productivity through R&D. To provide education, training and promote the dignity of labour through ‘decent work’ opportunities in the informal sector by constantly adhering to the values of transparency, integrity, respect and accountability,” concludes Rajesh.
