In India, several forward-thinking sought-after companies are recognizing the need to implement returnship programs.

As professionals increasingly take career breaks for personal reasons—whether due to caregiving, family responsibilities, or health—the need for effective returnship programs has become crucial.

These initiatives not only empower individuals to re-enter the workforce but also contribute to a more diverse and inclusive talent pool.

What Are Returnship Programs?

These programs, often referred to as “return-to-work” programs, provide a structured pathway for professionals who have taken extended career breaks to reintegrate into the workforce.

These programs offer a combination of training, mentorship, and practical experience, helping participants regain confidence, update their skills, and transition smoothly back into full-time roles.
