EdTechReview.in – Helping Teachers Empower Learners with Cutting-edge Skills
In a bid to equip the youth of India with cutting-edge skills, Internshala, an internship and online training platform, has collaborated with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC). Through this partnership, the platform aims to impact over three lakh learners within three years.
The focus of this collaboration lies in providing practical-based skills essential in today’s world. Data science, electric vehicle technology, digital marketing, machine learning, web development, UI/UX design, programming and IoT are some of the key abilities being emphasized.
The learners can participate in paid internships to gain hands-on experience in their chosen fields. The completion of training programmes is rewarded with a co-branded certificate from NSDC and Internshala, aligning with the Skill India initiative.
Sarvesh Agrawal, Founder & CEO of Internshala, said, “We are delighted to have partnered with NSDC to skill Indian students in most sought-after skills like AI, EV, digital marketing, HRM, full stack development, product management, and many more. The culture of meaningful internships has grown rapidly in India in the last ten years – largely thanks to the startup revolution. And early exposure to the world of work through internships has empowered students to understand the importance of practical skills early on in their college life and prepare themselves for an enriching career well in advance.”
Agrawal further added, “Internshala online training is well devised by highly qualified subject matter experts and is updated with industry trends. Additionally, by being affordable and accessible anytime and anywhere, these trainings make skilling truly convenient for the students and on the go for the students.”
Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of National Skill Development Corporation, commented on the development, “Bridging the gap between education and employment, and keeping up with the demand of future skills, internships provide valuable real-world experience and hands-on learning in a professional setting, making an individual better suited to the organizations where they aspire to work.”
He further said, “NSDC’s collaboration with Internshala aims to promote and facilitate skill development among youth in India, empowering them to be prepared for the future by applying theoretical knowledge to practical situations and gaining a deeper understanding of their chosen field of work.”
At EdTechReview.in, we understand that equipping teachers with the right skills can help them empower their learners with cutting-edge skills. With the objective of bridging the gap between education and employment, NSDC and Internshala have come together to launch a strategic partnership, giving students access to online training in in-demand skills and their first real-world experience through internships and fresher jobs.
Through this partnership, teachers can encourage their students to participate in paid internships and gain hands-on experience in their chosen fields, thus preparing them to launch their careers. Additionally, students can benefit from the completion of training programmes and be awarded a co-branded certificate from NSDC and Internshala, aligning with the Skill India initiative.
