Updated on: Thursday, June 07, 2012

Bhopal based AISECT, has partnered with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) with a mission to empower around 1.3 million youth across semi-urban and rural India over the next ten years. Under this alliance, AISECT will work as a national partner of NSDC to spread quality skill development training across the country and placement of students.

Santosh Kumar Choubey, chairman, AISECT Group said, “Through this partnership, AISECT, which has an extensive reach in the rural and semi-urban areas through a network of over 10,000 centres spread across 27 states and three union territories, will contribute significantly to the objective of carrying out skill development on a large scale in the unorganised sector.”

As part of this alliance, AISECT’s skill development initiative will cater to seven of the 21 priority sectors identified by NSDC. These sectors include IT&ITES, Electronics & Hardware, Banking & Financial Services, Teacher & Assessor Training, Textiles, Organised Retail and Agri Skills.

This skill development project will initially be carried out in the backward regions of states like Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Bihar, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Maharashtra and Punjab and will gradually be implemented across the country.
 
Under this partnership, AISECT will also undertake ‘Training of Trainers’ programme to improve the quality of skill training and to improve the technology utilisation of trainers.
 
The organisation will also utilise nearly 6,000 Common Service Centres (CSCs) that it has set up at the panchayat level across Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Punjab. It will also endeavour to set up Vocational Academies or Skill Resource Centres within the two universities that the organisation has set up in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
 
Placements and post-training support is a big component of this project and AISECT will provide placement services, both online and offline, to the trained people. Placement efforts will be carried out at both national as well as regional level to ensure maximum placements for all trained candidates. As part of this partnership, AISECT would also work extensively on creation of quality e-learning material for candidates in all regional languages.
