India has set a national target to “skill” 500 million people in India, across a variety of sectors, by 2022. The National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC) of India has been tasked to meet 30% of that target, meaning that they seek to produce 150 million skilled workers in the next 7 years. NSDC’s primary goal is to foster private sector and industry participation in skill training and development.
In support of this training goal, Algonquin College and Manav Rachna Education Institutions (MREI) of India have signed a Letter of Intent and agreed to submit a proposal to be a training Centre of Excellence in the automotive and construction sectors. Centred at MREI’s campus near New Delhi, the Centre will focus on “Training the Trainers” with the major goal of upskilling the workforce in these sectors, across India.
