Quantitative Reasoning and Mathematics Content Development Intern

Organization: Karta Initiative India

Location: Remote (Online)

Duration: 1 month

About Karta Initiative:

Karta is a social mobility movement to transform the future of youth from underprivileged and
marginalized communities in India. It brings together schools, non-profits and government, top
universities in India and globally; employers from around the world, and charitable foundations and
philanthropists.

The population of young people under the age of 25 years is significant in India (~47%); by focusing on
this target population, Karta is working towards building dignified future for the communities in India.
Youth from India's most underprivileged and marginalized communities fail to access quality education
and subsequent workplace opportunities. The weakest link is the transition of such youth from school to
university and then to well-meaning livelihoods. In the absence of adequate awareness, financial
resources, and weak orientation towards 21st century and market-ready skills, talented youth fail to
realize their full potential and are forced to go back to either their traditional family occupations or settle
into sub-optimal career choices, thereby reinforcing their marginalization across generations. Further,
universities, corporations and other organizations also lose out on top talent as a consequence.
