College to Career Team - Program Associate

Why do we exist? What do we do?

The quality of school education available to students from low-income communities across India is

abysmal. Their chances of attending college, or building a career are significantly lower than their high-

income peers, condemning them to a life without voice or choice. iTeach was born in 2015 to challenge

this status quo and create a level playing field for ALL children.

We run free and high-impact schools and an exceptional college-to-career program for the most

disadvantaged students in Pune, Navi Mumbai , khed . We are known for our world-class professional

development, our result-oriented team culture, and our student-centric school design. Read more about

us at www.iTeachSchools.org.

The iTeach College to Career Team aims to have all our alumni make it to and through college and get

their first sustainable job aligned with their personal vision. This is their first step in pulling themselves

and their families out of poverty. We do this work through four centres: Admissions and Scholarships,

Near-peer Mentoring, Lifeguarding and the Career Centre.

With only 10% of Indian students making it through college—fewer from under-resourced

backgrounds—many face pressure to work early, marry, or drop out. C2C exists to change this, offering

academic, financial, and social support to help go to and through college, and into meaningful

employment.

Program Details (Khed Project)

Forbes Marshall, our long time partner and supporter, has been doing some incredible work with the

girls in the Khed area to ensure they get into meaningful careers of their choice, support their family and

make independent life choices. Starting 2025-26, iTeach C2C has collaborated with FM to be a

knowledge and implementation partner for this project.The Khed project currently supports 1,500 girls.

Work regarding the education and employment of girls has been ongoing here for the past ten years. By

operating directly in the area, the project facilitates access to educational and employment

opportunities for them. This work is being carried out across 30 villages in Khed Taluka (Rajgurunagar),

Pune District. Under the C2C Khed project, we are currently working with 35 schools and colleges on a

girls' scholarship program ( GSP).
