The Indian economy is growing rapidly, leading to an ever-increasing demand for a skilled workforce. This enhances the relevance of the LABS model, which has won wide acclaim – both in India and abroad – for its simplicity and effectiveness.

LABS has evolved into a robust model that can effectively be adapted to a wide range of local conditions, both urban and rural, thus making it easily replicable and scalable. Its ability to quickly create sustainable livelihoods through market-savvy vocational training programs has attracted several socially-oriented organizations, which have been implementing the model and scaling it up for their specific requirements.

To broad-base the LABS model to cater to larger target groups, DRF constantly explores possible avenues of association with process-oriented organizations, thereby enabling them to take it forward in locations where we do not have a direct presence.
