The Salesians of Don Bosco have long recognized that technical education is a powerful tool for youth empowerment, especially in regions facing economic disparity and social exclusion. Don Bosco Tech, a network of over 330 centers in India alone, provides short-term vocational courses tailored to industry needs. Their involvement in technical education across South Asia—India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal—is driven by the following key motivations:
1. Empowering Marginalized Youth
2. Responding to Unemployment and Skill Gaps
3. Preparing for the Fourth Industrial Revolution
4. Holistic Formation and Value Education
5. Mission-Driven Social Transformation

Global Impact Scale: Over 1,000 vocational, technical, and agricultural schools worldwide.
Reach: Operating in 136 countries, with major hubs in India (where they are a pillar of national skill missions), Africa, and Latin America.
Focus: Inclusion of youth (typically ages 15–24) into the labor market through both formal diplomas and short-term non-formal certifications.
