About the initiative:
P2E is an e-learning solution, launched in 2022, by UNICEF India, YuWaah and partners. This initiative aligns with the National Education Policy and provides free access to certificate courses in relevant skills. It aims to empower 5 million youth between the ages of 14-29 with skills (by 2024) and connect them to job and self-employment opportunities to achieve financial independence.

- It was celebrated during an event on the UN International Day of the Girl Child (11th October)
