Indian professionals look at their educational degrees as a gateway to a successful career. They invest time & money to acquire sought after degrees and certifications. However, a large majority of them lack the skills needed to navigate and succeed in the real world. These life skills include how to make the most of your paycheck; how to stand up in the face of biases at the workplace; how to respond to the lack of a safe and conducive work environment. The issues may seem trivial at the first glance, but have a lasting impact on an individual’s personal and professional life. Such issues and skills are not taught at educational institutions and are also not part of the community discourse, thus giving rise to a generation unaware and unequipped to deal with the challenges. In order to address this wide gap in life skills education, India’s leading awareness experts Be.artsy has launched an EdTech platform ‘Be Your Own Shakti’. It is a unique venture in India, aimed at taking life skills education far and wide via e-learning. Be.artsy as an organisation is renowned for their awareness programmes on subjects like financial literacy, prevention of sexual harassment, bias training, and more. The company has been in the awareness and life skills training domain for more than a decade. 'Be Your Own Shakti' features Be.artsy’s flagship financial literacy and prevention of sexual harassment courses. Currently the content is in English but will soon be available in multiple languages and localised context making life skills education easily accessible to its audiences.
