Bridging the Digital Skill Gap: Free 3-Month DTP & Graphic Designing Course
Empowering Rural Youth in North Coastal Andhra Pradesh with Job-Ready Digital Skills
π¨ The Urgent Need for Digital Skills in Rural India
In today’s digital-first world, Graphic Designing and Desktop Publishing (DTP) are essential for careers in advertising, publishing, digital marketing, and freelance work. Yet, thousands of rural youth in North Coastal Andhra Pradesh remain disconnected from these opportunities due to lack of access to training and resources.
π The Reality of the Digital Divide
- Limited Access to Digital Education β Only 9.9% of rural households in India have access to a computer, reducing exposure to creative design tools. (National Sample Survey β NSSO)
- High Unemployment Rates β 45% of rural youth remain unemployed due to a lack of vocational training in high-demand digital skills. (PLFS 2022 Report)
- Low Vocational Training Participation β Only 10% of Indian youth receive formal skill training, affecting their employability. (Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship)
- Rising Demand for Digital Designers β Digital design and creative jobs are among the fastest-growing career opportunities, yet rural youth are left behind. (NASSCOM & World Economic Forum Reports)
