The Strategic Links initiative was launched in India in December 2004, when a small ad hoc
group met in New Delhi to answer the question: "How can spouses and partners of globally
mobile workers gain more control over their own careers?" The group established Strategic
Links Trust, an India-based educational organization that, in turn, created the professional membership association, Strategic Links India.
Over the past four years Strategic Links India has:
-
Produced and updated a Guide to Employment in India;
-
Supported 186 individual members and 20 organisational members;
-
Conducted 74 seminars, workshops and round-tables, with 825 participants;
-
Advertised 140 positions for 62 different organisations; and,
- Assisted 75 members secure jobs; 24 members find career-building volunteer
roles and 11 members enrol in educational programmes.
Strategic Links Trust recognizes the small group of dedicated professionals, most who have worked as volunteers, whose energy and talent made this a successful initiative.
