Get a Plan
|
This five-year multi-partnership programme builds on the foundation of Going to School's Get a Plan project to help young people transition successfully from school to work in Bihar.
GTS will design and deliver interactive education curriculum in Government Secondary schools to teach children the skills they need to complete their education, get a job, or start an enterprise. In the past two years with support from IKEA Foundation, Going to School was able to scale their successful model with Grade 9 students in 500 secondary schools in Bihar. Independent evaluation results showed that the programme helped children acquire problem-solving, creative and gender awareness skills.
Based on these successful results, Going to School is extending the programme to Grades 10-12, focus on creating new content to help children acquire market/job-relevant skills and linking them with existing opportunities in Bihar.
This programme will ensure that students, especially young girls, build the aspirations and skills to make informed life choices regarding employment, starting an enterprise or pursuing higher education.

1. A lack of market-relevant skills taught to young people in school that prepare them for entry into the workforce as entrepreneurs and skilled workers. Government secondary school education does not have content, or trained teachers, to provide market-relevant skills necessary for young people to get a job or start an enterprise.
2. A lack of school-based work transition programs that guide young people into skills training and into jobs through links with employers and government support schemes. School enrollment has seen unprecedented increases in Bihar in the past decade, which also provides a ready platform to transition young people into employment upon completion.
3. High barriers to participation in work amongst girls in particular. At present, only about 14% of women in Bihar participate in the labour force. Girls cite barriers and concerns related to a lack of employment they deem appropriate; distance and safety; and childcare/domestic responsibilities.

Enable young people to get jobs: problem-solving, design-thinking, adaptability, grit, teamwork, quality, marketing and sustainable resources, understanding the root causes and effects of climate change such as pollution and exploring sustainable choices, alternatives. 21st Century skills will be applied to individual local job sector opportunities and modules i.e becoming a sports coach in schools.
Our 41 entrepreneurs visited schools over 600 times and we made their stories into graphic novels that were read by 200,000 children in Grade 9

Going to School’s solution will work to improve the continuum from school to work in four ways:
• Skills: Ensuring young women and men have market-relevant, career and communication skills to pursue their aspirations.
• Opportunities: Linking and facilitating entry into appropriate jobs and enterprises. For girls in particular:
• Aspirations: Building girls’ dreams, desires and plans to pursue work or enterprise after school.
• Enabling environment: Creating a supportive environment through peer-led social networks, at home and in society to address norms that prevent girls from working such as distance, safety concerns and child care responsibilities.

1. Going to School (GTS) will design career-focussed skills content for young people, including games, movies, lessons and case studies. These will cover career aspirations, 21st-century market-ready skills, entrepreneurship content customized to real-world environments, and gender knowledge.
2. GTS will deliver the content through two modes:
a. Through a mobile phone app directly to young people, particularly by leveraging mass media and building a young, aspirational brand.
b. Delivering content directly through schools in Bengaluru and Kolkata, where GTS team members and BT volunteers will further provide career mentorship and skills advice to adolescent girls.
GTS will build public and private sector partnerships, through a coalition called Go to Work, to help adolescent girls transition to work after school. The partnerships will feed into the content design as well as internship and job opportunities for adolescent girls, as well as provide support for entrepreneurs.
