Today’s youth is beginning to believe in self-employment. If those who go by self-employment can get a boost, encouragement, assistance, and the right direction at the beginning of the journey, it may ensure getting success in good quantity, and by emulating them, a large section who keeps looking for government jobs may veer towards self-employment. A startup is not an easy path to tread, but the current generation is ready to invest their years into entrepreneurship.
Through these workshops, Sleepwell Foundation is creating a conducive boost for a prosperous economic condition and form the foundation for an emotionally well generation.
