Changing Lives Through Targeted Job Matching in South Africa
Overview
byteXL brings real-world, industry-aligned tech training into college classrooms—equipping students with the skills to launch their careers.
India is at a turning point. With more than 65% of its population in the working-age group, the country has a rare opportunity to turn its youth into a driving force for economic growth. But there’s a catch: many young people are finishing school without the skills employers need.
Only 45% of college graduates are considered job-ready, and diploma and degree holders face a five times higher unemployment rate than high school graduates. The issue isn’t a lack of opportunity—it’s a mismatch between what students learn and what employers expect.

byteXL partners with colleges to integrate hands-on training and in-demand tech skills from the start. With nearly 700 in-person trainers and 100,000+ active users across 34 institutions, their model blends online and classroom learning.
