Infosys Foundation enables over 2.5 lakh job offers under Springboard Livelihood Programme

Infosys Foundation, the philanthropic and CSR arm of Infosys, on October 13 informed that the Infosys Springboard Livelihood Programme (ISLP) has enabled more than 2.5 lakh job offers across India, marking the halfway milestone towards its aspiration of creating half-a-million job opportunities in the country by 2030. ISLP is an initiative to create sustainable livelihoods through industry-relevant skilling, employment pathways, and strong ecosystem partnerships.

According to the foundation, since its launch last year, ISLP has enabled employment opportunities for youngsters through a network of 20 implementation partners, including Nirmaan Organisation, ICT Academy, Magic Bus, Centum Foundation, and Aga Khan Rural Support Programme (India). The programme has enabled more than 1.17 lakh job offers for graduates and over 96,000 job offers for undergraduates, helping bridge the gap between education and employment. The foundation claimed that the programme has enabled more than 1.25 lakh job offers for women and for over 1000 Persons with Disabilities (PwD).

Infosys Foundation collaborated with AssisTech Foundation (ATF) for the employment platform, and would work with The Association of People with Disability (APD) to expand access to career opportunities for people with disabilities.

Sumit Virmani, Trustee, Infosys Foundation, said, “At Infosys Foundation, we believe the true success of education is not the number of people skilled, but the number of lives meaningfully transformed through employment.’’

“Reaching the halfway milestone of our 2030 goal with 2.5 lakh job offers demonstrated what was possible when learning was closely aligned with industry demand. Beyond livelihoods, this milestone represents greater economic independence, social mobility, and opportunities for individuals and families to build a more secure future.”
