Internshala, the internships and online training platform, has launched an initiative titled ‘Internships for Women’ campaign to help women (re)start their career. In India, about 65-70% women who take a career break fail to return to work, and many women who are well educated and have potential to become a valuable part of the workforce do not even get a chance to begin their career. Internshala has proposed internships as a solution for these women as internships are a short-term commitment and provide flexible working hours. Through 'Internships for Women' initiative, Internshala aims to help 4,000 women secure an internship by March 2018. In India only 27% of working-age women were working in 2015-16 and this highlights the unbalanced Indian workforce which is a major modern-day issue that India is facing. To address this, Internshala has launched the campaign. 'Internships for Women' brings employment opportunities for women, in the form of an internship which helps them restart their career. With flexible working options like work from home options and part-time options, women can balance their professional and personal lives. Further, if women want to go back to the workplace, they can opt for office-based internships and make a gradual switch to professional life. As of now, women can apply to over 4,000 internships.
