Project Overview

Empowering Every Learner: Bridging Skill Gaps with Innovation

In today’s competitive job market, many students, especially from underserved regions, face significant challenges due to limited career guidance, unclear pathways, and a lack of targeted skill-building opportunities. Saarthi addresses these gaps by offering a comprehensive, AI-driven platform designed to assess, guide, and empower students like Vivek, who aspire to align their skills with market demands but struggle to find the right starting point.

Our platform acts as a career compass, providing:

  • Periodic assessments and actionable feedback to ensure measurable progress.

By harnessing the power of AI, Saarthi empowers students to take charge of their learning journey, ensuring they are equipped to meet their career aspirations with confidence.


Inspiration

The inspiration behind Saarthi stems from the challenges faced by students like Vivek, who, despite their determination to succeed, often lack the resources, guidance, and clarity needed to navigate the complexities of career development. These barriers can leave students feeling unprepared and disconnected from emerging job opportunities.

Our vision is to create a platform that serves as a personalized career guide, helping students:

  • Identify their strengths and areas for improvement.
  • Discover relevant skills and courses aligned with their aspirations.
  • Build confidence and competence through targeted interventions.
