Abstract: The National Education Policy (NEP) promotes holistic, skill-oriented education for future-ready learners, positioning resilience as key to employability through equity, excellence, and sustainability. This study among Class IX students used Dr. Norman Garmezy’s Theory of Resilience and Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg’s 7 Cs model (competence, confidence, connection, character, contribution, coping, control) to design a Resilience Intervention Programme. Activities like teamwork, SWOT analysis, and reflection logs boosted self-efficacy and agency, confirming resilience enhances employability-readiness. Integrating such practices into curricula supports NEP’s equitable, sustainable growth.
