Resources in Tamil

The Promise Foundation partnered with UNICEF (office for Tamil Nadu & Kerala) and Samagra Shiksha, Government of Tamil Nadu to build capacity for the delivery of career guidance services to high school students from economically disadvantaged homes in Tamil Nadu. The Promise Foundation’s Jiva Approach to Career Guidance and Livelihood Planning formed the core of this engagement.

The existing Jiva Kit was reviewed and adapted for Tamilnadu.  We have developed a complete Jiva Kit in Tamil, along with comprehensive counsellor training material.  Please click for reports pertaining to the project.
