Work Exposure Programme
The Work Exposure Programme (WEP) at Ekya is an opportunity for senior school students to learn about different areas of work, and develop the understanding required to succeed in those professions. It is a way for students to explore future careers as well as gain valuable skills and knowledge that are applicable to all lines of work.
The WEP carefully curates opportunities for students to ensure that participating organisations are both dynamic, innovative work spaces and have the willingness to mentor young minds.
Participating grades: IX-XII

We launched the WEP – 2021 on January 4th. We adopted a blended module of offline and online internship opportunities this year with 13 unique organisations on-board offering 200+ summer internship positions to our senior students of grade 9 – 12 and the PUC students.
WEP- 2021 is focused on upskilling students by offering hands-on industry exposure and mentorship across diverse roles in the fields such as Interior Design, Architecture, Content Curation, Branding, Digital Marketing, Quality and Compliance, Stock Markets, PR, Horticulture, NGO, Motorsports and more.
With over 270+ applicants this year, Ekya students are all set to explore life outside of school and get college and career ready!
All through the program, the progress of students will be monitored and documented through a specially curated reflective journal.
