The LABS process begins with a livelihood mapping exercise, which gives an idea of an area’s employability potential, based on the local economy, culture, natural resources, labor market and industrial profile. Courses for the local LABS centre are determined in consultation with industry professionals.

Road shows are held to mobilize aspirants for the courses. Each aspirant is then administered an ‘interest inventory’, which helps in identifying the course most suited for him / her. After going through a life skills-oriented induction program, the aspirants undergo classroom training, which includes on-the-job training and Communicative English. An Individual Youth Development Plan (IYDP) monitors their personality development through the course. They are finally put through a ‘Work Readiness Module’, which teaches them to prepare their resumes, face interviews, cope with workplace-related issues, and balance their personal and professional lives.

With the help of a Business-to-Youth (B2Y) network, entry-level jobs are made available to the aspirants in various sectors. Those with entrepreneurial aptitude are also assisted in setting up micro-enterprises of their own. The Alumni Service Cell serves as an interactive platform for exchanging information on job avenues for the alumni as well as current trainees. It also helps alumni at entry-level positions to advance further in their careers.
