Commenting on the launch, Hari Menon, CEO, IndiaSkills said, “There has been a lack of work relevant education for the youth, which can help them get a job and be successful at it. This has resulted in them taking up education courses that do not immediately enhance their employability or open up any job prospects. IndiaSkills aims to bridge this gap between current education and industry needs of a skilled employee. The innovative learning model that IndiaSkills has developed helps the student in getting a well-salaried career, the employers in getting a trained & skilled employee and thus offering the government a fast-track solution to eradicate unemployment.”

All courses offered by IndiaSkills training centres are designed to provide a combination of both classroom learning and practical skills required to perform a specific job role, thus maximizing their employability opportunity. The curriculum also ensures students are productive and efficient from day one. The courses will include 120 to 200 guided learning hours, with both full time and part time options.
