C3 Programme.

Potential is Universal.
Opportunity is Engineered.

We are bridging the gap between rural education and the modern economy. A platform connecting high-potential youth to accredited skills and dignified careers.

Why Now?

The Critical Window

Climate displacement accelerating
School dropouts rising (NEET)
Record labor demand (Solar & Nursing)

The cost of inaction is a lost generation. The return on action is resilience.

The "Missing Middle" Crisis

Secondary education in Bangladesh is a success story. Employment is not. Thousands graduate annually into a void—without the funds or guidance to access technical training. This is a loss of human potential we cannot afford.

Bridging the Gap

For families in flood-prone areas, a diploma isn't enough. They need portable, resilient skills that travel with them. C3 removes the cost barrier and mitigates the social risk.

Profile

"I have the grades, but the nursing institute is three towns away. My father is afraid to send me."

The Human Reality

Why We Built the Support Ecosystem

Fatima (19) passed her SSC exams with distinction in a chars region constantly eroding into the river. Her dream is Nursing—a high-demand, climate-resilient profession.

But talent isn't the bottleneck. Safety and Finance are. Without a safe hostel and a scholarship, her potential remains stranded. C3 wraps the "tech" of skills training in the "humanity" of safeguarding and mentorship.

The C3 Method

Three Pillars of Empowerment

01

Aptitude & Opportunity Mapping

We use data to identify high-potential youth, but we use empathy to onboard them. This involves Bengali-language assessments and deep family counselling to align aspirations with realistic market demand (IT, Nursing, Electrical).

02

The Safeguarding Ecosystem

This is the "Human Layer." We provide full scholarships, secure women-only hostels, and dedicated mentors. This ensures logistical barriers and safety concerns never trump human potential.

03

Green Skills & Placement

Training is not the outcome; a job is. We integrate solar and energy-efficiency modules into all trades and track every graduate for 9 months post-placement to ensure retention and fair wages.

Unit Economics

Transparent, high-yield investment packages.

Cost Per Scholar

BDT 55k

Average fully-loaded cost (Training + Stipend + Safeguarding) for a 6-month technical track.

ROI Multiplier

3.5x

Projected first-year earnings vs. cost of intervention. Compounding annual value.

Fundable Unit

Cohort

Sponsor a full class of 25 students in Nursing, IT, or Electrical.
