This ongoing longitudinal impact evaluation explores the relationship between structured internship opportunities, family engagement, and student career outcomes. Research questions include how internships shape students’ employability skills and how school-family-employer collaboration strengthens long-term educational trajectories.

The team facilitates student and parent engagement through online calls, arranges internships by coordinating with employers,  prepares reports on school and field visits, and ensures quality data collection  (using SurveyCTO). Aawaaz also oversees budgeting to enable smooth program execution.
