LabourNet Foundation
About
LabourNet operates at the intersection of social impact and business performance.
We exist to link the unemployed to work opportunities, the under-employed to skilling opportunities, and boost productivity to fuel business opportunities.
By finding and grooming the right talent, infusing technology at the right points, interlinking ecosystems of businesses, and managing work processes, LabourNet helps companies scale exponentially and grow painlessly.

THE ISSUES WE ADDRESS
Millions in India aspire to better careers but face persistent barriers:
Remaining in informality without recognition or protection.
Experiencing instability with unpredictable incomes and short-term opportunities.
Struggling with limited access to training that matches industry needs.
Facing barriers to retention, particularly for women with safety and mobility challenges.
LabourNet Foundation exists to bridge these gaps so that aspirations do not remain dreams but become careers that endure.
Work Exposure
Work exposure is how aspirations turn into confidence. By integrating on-the-job training, assignments, and projects, we prepare the future workforce to adapt, perform, and grow.
For many participants, this is their experience of professional environments and a crucial step in building career pathways.
Certified for the Future
We believe that aspirations deserve to be recognised. As a recognised awarding body under the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET), LabourNet Foundation provides certifications aligned to the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF).
This ensures that every skill, exposure, and achievement is visible, verifiable, and valued by both individuals and enterprises. For participants, recognition builds pride and confidence. For enterprises, it provides trusted assurance of quality.
