SBIF LEAP: Skilling For Future

About the Program

India’s rapid digitalisation and expanding IT and BFSI ecosystem have significantly increased the demand for skilled, job-ready talent. However, market studies consistently highlight a persistent gap between industry requirements and the skills available among youth from underserved communities. Limited access to quality training, industry exposure, and recognised certification continues to restrict their participation in high-growth sectors such as technology and financial services.

Addressing this critical need, ICT Academy, in association with SBI Foundation, presents SBIF LEAP: Skilling For Future a large-scale skilling initiative focused on preparing youth from underserved communities in Chennai, Coimbatore and Madurai for sustainable careers in the technology and BFSI sectors.
