During a recent visit to Panchkula, Haryana, located in northern India, we had the pleasure of meeting 22-year-old Jyoti, a budding entrepreneur and clothing designer. Jyoti dropped out of high school after completing her 8th standard, as her father lost his vision and suddenly had to rely on the income from his children. She supported her family during this challenging time; however, given her limited education level and social restrictions preventing her from traveling beyond her village, she opted to stay home rather than look for a job.
在最近訪問印度北部的哈里亞納邦潘奇庫拉時，我們有幸會見了22歲的喬蒂，他是一位嶄露頭角的企業家和服裝設計師。喬蒂在讀完第八個標準後從高中輟學，因爲她的父親失去了視力，突然不得不依靠孩子的收入。在這個艱難的時期，她支持家人；但是，鑑於她的教育水平有限和社會限制使她無法出村旅行，她選擇待在家裏而不是找工作。
In India, about 37 percent of youth between the ages of 15 and 29 entered the workforce during 2021 and 2022, according to findings from the Periodic Labour Force Survey. However, many young women like Jyoti are left out of India's growing workforce due to limited education, lack of skills, and social restrictions.
根據定期勞動力調查的結果，在印度，年齡在15至29歲之間的年輕人中，約有37％在2021年至2022年進入勞動力隊伍。但是，由於教育有限、缺乏技能和社會限制，許多像喬蒂這樣的年輕女性被排除在印度不斷增長的勞動力隊伍之外。
Three years had passed since she left school when Jyoti learned about Udhyam Learning Foundation and its work with government-run Industrial Training Institutes (ITI). Udhyam offers students the opportunity to learn trade skills and foster an entrepreneurial mindset, equipping them with the skills to turn their trade into a business. Encouraged by her parents and three brothers, Jyoti decided to pursue tailoring courses at Udhyam and learn to design and sew clothing. With instruction from Udhyam, she also built the soft skills necessary to become a successful entrepreneur, enabling her to turn her passion for sewing into a successful business.
自從她離開學校後，喬蒂得知烏迪亞姆學習基金會及其與政府管理的工業培訓機構（ITI）的合作已經過去了三年。Udhyam爲學生提供了學習貿易技能和培養創業心態的機會，使他們具備將貿易轉變爲企業的技能。在父母和三個兄弟的鼓勵下，喬蒂決定在Udhyam上裁縫課程，學習設計和縫製服裝。在Udhyam的指導下，她還培養了成爲一名成功的企業家所需的軟技能，使她能夠將對縫紉的熱情轉化爲成功的企業。
Now, she runs her own tailoring business from home, assisted by her cousin, aunt, and mother. Every day, she wakes at 6:30 to clean her sewing machine and begin her projects for the day. She visits a local boutique run by another family member where she sells her designs, which include wedding dresses and traditional garments like lehnga choli for Indian festivals.
現在，在堂兄、阿姨和母親的協助下，她在家經營自己的裁縫業務。每天 6:30 她醒來清理縫紉機並開始當天的項目。她參觀了由另一位家庭成員經營的當地精品店，在那裏她出售自己的設計，包括婚紗和傳統服裝，例如 lehnga choli 用於印度的節日。
