Initiatives taken by NSDC partners to build a skilled and employable India

It’s through employability linked training & skills interventions that NSDC – National Skill Development Corporation – and its partners are doing their bit towards bridging the huge gap between demand and supply of skilled workforce in India.

Centum Learning, an NSDC partner, has undertaken a series of initiatives to reach to the disadvantaged youth of the country and train them on technical courses such as Telecom Tower Equipment Operations & Maintenance and Gems & Jewellery. Regular classroom training is offered for a selected number of days, that too, by the domain specialists; after successful completion, the participants are provided adequate support in placement with different organisations so that they can live their lives with dignity.

Apart from the technical courses, NSDC partners offer a fine selection of courses such as customer service training programmes, sales & distribution solutions, behavioural training solutions, e-learning solutions, school management & leadership training, vocational courses for school and college students, and many other courses.

The mission to build a skilled and employable India is quite a huge challenge; the earlier we start, the better it’ll be. Government of India, NSDC, partners of NSDC, they all are doing their best; it’s high time we play our part and incorporate youth skills development in our company’s CSR strategies. An NSDC partner, like Centum Learning, can help you get the most out of your CSR strategy and make a real difference.

Content Development: Backbone of a power-packed training programme

For one company, content development for training materials can be a cost, while the other one may see it as an investment, as a tool to enhance the productivity of its people.

There are companies that think they can do without developing content to train their people. They like to believe that they can tell their people when they go wrong. How wrong these companies themselves are!

Other companies believe they can limp along without developing quality content for training. Such companies may lose the battle anytime.

The last category belongs to the smart or forward thinking companies, which value quality content development and how the same can be used to better train their people and make them more productive and accountable.

Smart companies look at content development as a strategic tool to:

• Cut down on the support costs as they get more work out of fewer “better trained” people
• Boost their sales and market share by the team members with the knowledge and skills necessary to differentiate their product and/or service in an increasingly competitive marketplace
• Reduce time to market by accelerating the acquisition of critical skills and knowledge 

The marketplace out there is getting more and more competitive with each passing day. And smart companies know the value that customized content development adds to their workforce; that’s why these companies believe that ‘first-rate content’ doesn’t cost, but pays.  And that’s why they partner with the top-rated content development companies.
