GrowthSchool launches ‘Project Rise Again’

GrowthSchool

‘Project Rise Again,’ a $500,000 scholarship fund, has been established by GrowthSchool, a rapidly expanding ed-tech platform, to assist people who have recently lost their jobs in developing new skills and getting back on their feet. To assist impacted individuals in overcoming their difficulties, GrowthSchool will offer 100% scholarships on its top-rated upskilling programmes.

The scholarship is open to anyone who has recently been laid off, and the selection criteria include factors like CTC in the previous employer, the number of dependents and household income, and the amount of time since the layoff.

Working professionals are facing difficult times, according to Vaibhav Sisinty, CEO and Founder of GrowthSchool, who shared his idea for this effort. Even after making every effort, being laid off can be difficult. In my professional life, I have encountered this circumstance twice, so I am completely aware of the mental and financial strain such events can bring. We seek to empower the laid-off workforce by providing access to our rigorous courses, expert-led counselling, and job assistance, all with the kind assistance of our acclaimed mentors from leading brands. Our mission is to act as a lifeline for those affected by mass layoffs, assisting them in getting back on their feet in the workforce and relaunching their careers. Together, we can rise again and build a brighter future.”

The trend of mass layoffs, which has seen more than 3.15 lakh people lose their jobs globally in the last year alone as major tech companies and digital-first startups reduce their workforce, has severely affected many people’s financial stability, stress levels, and quality of life. As a ray of hope, Project Rise Again offers those affected the chance to learn new skills, improve their employability, and restart their careers. It’s an important step towards reducing the negative consequences of mass layoffs and ensuring a better future for individuals who are dealing with this difficulty.

Project Rise Again is a great endeavour by GrowthSchool, according to Arjun Vaidya, Co-Founder, V3 Ventures, one of the mentors involved with the project. Upskilling and reskilling are critical tactics for tech professionals to find jobs in the present environment of massive layoffs. GrowthSchool’s pledge reveals their unwavering commitment to supporting people during difficult circumstances. My goal as a mentor is to provide students with the most up-to-date knowledge applicable to their business, so I’m happy to be involved with this endeavour. I am certain that Project Rise Again will significantly improve the lives and careers of individuals impacted by mass layoffs, and I wish the best for everyone who is a part of it.

Over 150 professional mentors with extensive experience and a proven track record in a range of jobs will lead the courses under “Project Rise Again.”
