Magic Bus India Foundation, a leading non-profit organisation in the education and skilling space, has unveiled the second phase of 'Future X,' an innovative and strategic livelihood programme. This programme equips young people with 21st-century skills for life and work, harnessing the potential of technology to reach young people on a larger scale through its enhanced learning pathways. The programme has been supported by Michael & Susan Dell Foundation since 2020.
Jayant Rastogi, Global CEO, Magic Bus India Foundation, said, “We believe that Future X represents a significant step forward in our commitment to empowering the youth. Our approach involves employing scalable strategies that allows us to reach millions of young people in the years to come. At the core of the programme is the technology platform that comprehensively maps the entire journey of young individuals, addressing each stage of the programme. We have also integrated cost-effective AI-enabled tools to support them in their learning journey. Our vision is to lead young individuals towards a brighter future where they can positively impact their communities, and our partnership with Michael & Susan Dell Foundation is instrumental in achieving this objective.”
Future X's objectives are multifaceted, designed to enhance employment opportunities for young people. It aims to prepare them for the workforce by providing diverse learning channels, including in-person sessions focussed on life and employability skills, learning enhancement through group work and peer-to-peer learning, as well as sessions on digital and spoken English. The programme will also use low-cost AI-enabled mediums to support youth in learning at their own pace. This support will be facilitated through live chat assistance to resolve queries and by hosting videos of key skills, thereby strengthening learning outcomes for young people.
