About Us – Alohomora Education

The Need

Little to no support is available to underprivileged youth (in school or outside) to choose an interest-aligned career.
90% youth passing out of 12th grade each year don’t have a clear plan for next steps.

Exposure gap. Most
students aware of only
5-7 careers

Societal push
towards ‘stable’
careers

Lack of relatable
role models and
inspiration

Lack of agency
and confidence to
explore/learn

The combination of these factors leads to students making poor career decisions, resulting in:

Almost 30% of India’s youth are NEET (Not in Education, Employment and Training). 50% of India’s youth don’t feel their post secondary education has increased their chances of a job, and 40% youth want to move out of their first job.
