India's demographic dividend presents a transformative opportunity, but only if the youth transition to industry-relevant employment. A widening skill gap, especially in high-demand areas like automation, data analytics, and smart manufacturing, poses a significant challenge to India's workforce competitiveness.
The skilling initiative at TCF aims to address this challenge through scalable, industry-aligned skilling interventions. Our approach focuses on building systemic pathways that bridge the demand-supply mismatch.
To drive sustainable and scalable outcomes, our approach is anchored in four key enablers:
The Government of India is pursuing a transformation of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) to enhance vocational education and align it with industry needs. This initiative aims to modernize ITIs, improve training quality, and increase employability among ITI graduates. The hub-and-spoke model approach entails that high-potential ITIs get developed into regional centers of excellence that support surrounding spoke ITIs. At TCF we see a here and now opportunity for systemic change in this domain.
Uttar Pradesh is one of the states with the highest number of ITIs in the country. Therefore, at a state level, our aim is to enable transformation of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) into modern, demand-driven training hubs, and in parallel mobilize industry to create robust talent absorption pipelines for the youth in Uttar Pradesh.
The Convergence Foundation is hiring a UP State Lead, based in UP, to anchor our work with Invest UP, Skills and Labor departments of the state. This role involves working closely with senior government officials, including the head of Invest UP and Skills and Labor department.
The State Lead will represent TCF in UP, manage partnerships, and drive on-ground implementation of skilling and ITI upgradation initiatives. We are looking for someone with experience in consulting or government program delivery, strong stakeholder management skills, and the ability to navigate government systems effectively.
This is a hands-on leadership role suited for someone who is outcome-focused, comfortable with ambiguity, and keen to work at the intersection of policy and execution.
The UP State Lead will report to the leadership / central team at TCF
