How can a skilling company benefit you in the planning and execution of a CSR strategy?

Corporate houses in India were always engaged in social welfare. They would build houses, schools, and hospitals for their employees, their families, and even for the surrounding communities.

However, corporate social responsibility in India is now legally dictated – governments lay down policies as to how corporates in different earning ranges should spend on their CSR. Top corporates even go on to hire specialists to help them plan, develop, manage and execute CSR programs.

Skilling has become an important area for those involved in CSR – even the present government has advised corporates to spend a significant portion of their CSR spending on skill development programs. This is where skilling & training companies come in the scene.


Skilling & training companies not only help their clients in the formation of their CSR strategies but also help them execute the same. A company can hire one such skill development service provider and lighten the burden on its resources – it no longer needs to invest enormous amounts of efforts and resources to plan out the CSR activities and get bothered about its execution. A skilling & training company might even locate the youth to be skilled and customize the training to better fit their training needs. The youth then can be placed either within the company that sponsored the training program or in some other company or industry.


Skilling youth is a great step for any company. They not only fulfill their CSR commitments, but also contribute to the economic engine of the country. After all, India is going to need millions of more skilled manpower in the coming years.
