CELEBRATING YOU

The Career Connect Center hosted an event called ‘Celebrating You!’ where we brought together close to 100 young graduates who have spent a minimum of three years or more in any of our skill development programmes. This event was designed to acknowledge the graduates’ life skills and intentions of making healthy career choices, create a platform where they could share their stories and celebrate who they have become.

Neelambika and Rajeswari are young graduates of Dream a Dream. Neelambika has just completed her Master’s in Biotechnology and is working for a local NGO while also exploring an entrepreneurial path. Rajeshwari is a beautician and on the course of starting her own salon while Vaani has just joined our programme and is being inspired by the alumni around her. Vishwa Dewan followed his passion and became an animator and graphic artist. Working as a Creative Team Lead at a company in Bangalore, he has also taught animation to other young people at Dream a Dream.

This event brought people like Neelambika, Rajeshwari and Vishwa together to share and celebrate their journeys.

GRADUATION DAY

The After School Life Skills Programme annually hosts, ‘Graduation Day’ to celebrate and motivate the young people who have successfully completed the life skills programme and graduated from the programme. This day was designed with a theme to create awareness amongst young people to save our environment and plant more trees. This year, 824 young people from 22 partner schools successfully completed the programmes and graduated from them.

The graduation day was celebrated with lots of fun and learnings in the form of plays, dance and songs, sharing’s of their learnings with the parents and teachers participating with full enthusiasm and energy. We not only felicitated the young people, we also felicitated the teachers and parents. One of the unique features of this graduation day was that the young alumni graduate volunteered to host the graduation day.
