NSDC to Set Up Trainer and Assessor Academies across India

28 May 2018

To meet the rising demand for trainers and assessors in India's skill development ecosystem, the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) aims to establish state-of-the-art Trainer and Assessor Academies in the country. To complement this development, SP and Temasek Foundation International are partnering NSDC on a Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programme to build the capabilities of 300 education leaders and specialists who will establish and manage these academies across India. This programme is supported by Temasek Foundation International with a grant of S$502,955. To formalise this programme, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between NSDC and SP is expected to be signed during India Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Singapore from 31 May to 2 June 2018.
