NSDC launches nationwide cloud, AI skilling initiative
NSDC has launched a nationwide cloud and AI skilling initiative to train 1.5 lakh learners, including 10,000 participants through AWS re/Start. The programme aims to expand access to job-ready tech skills, particularly for youth in Tier II and Tier III cities.
The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has introduced a nationwide cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI) training program to equip 150,000 learners with essential digital skills. This initiative, in partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cultus Education, will also offer job-ready training to 10,000 participants via the AWS re/start program.
The NSDC, under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, aims to bridge the gap in technology education by providing accessible, high-quality training to youth, particularly in underserved regions and emerging talent hubs across India. Through an online delivery model, learners in Tier II and Tier III cities can now access training without the need to relocate to major cities, paving the way from foundational digital literacy to globally recognized credentials and employment opportunities.
NSDC's Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Jayant Chaudhary, highlighted the importance of including youth in Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns in the pursuit of a skilled, future-ready workforce as India aims to become a global hub for innovation and technology.
