On October 7, 2024, the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to establish a state-of-the-art skill development center in Kandivali, Mumbai. This initiative aims to enhance the skill training landscape in the region and create significant employment opportunities for local youth.
This collaboration represents a pivotal effort towards skill development in India, particularly in urban areas like Mumbai, where the demand for skilled labor is on the rise. The establishment of such centers not only aims to enhance the employability of young individuals but also contributes to the broader goal of creating a skilled workforce that meets both national and global market requirements.
The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has equipped the facility with advanced labs and has committed to ensuring at least 75% employment for successful candidates post-training. The event also witnessed the distribution of offer letters to 20 candidates, representing the first batch of 500 beneficiaries.
