Educational technology has become an important part of the learning and teaching process. In order to ensure that students are able to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge, educational institutions are now looking for ways to make the learning process more efficient and engaging. To address the growing need for upskilling in the tech sector, OdinSchool and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) have formed a strategic partnership.
This collaboration focuses on improving the quality of tech upskilling and providing students who have completed OdinSchool’s data science and web programming courses with NSDC-endorsed certifications. This will not only help to make the professional qualifications of the students more legitimate, but it will also open up more job opportunities for them.
As part of this agreement, OdinSchool and NSDC are also offering specific scholarships to women in order to foster women empowerment and address the gender gap and competence gap in business. This is especially important in India, where the IT industry is facing a significant skill shortage. According to the NSDC, India is expected to need an additional 103 to 109 million trained personnel in various sectors in order to meet the demands of the industry.
The CEO of OdinSchool, Vijay Pasupulati, believes that the collaboration between OdinSchool and NSDC is a crucial step in bridging the talent gap in India. OdinSchool’s tailored programmes and guidance are designed to help individuals from non-technical backgrounds to upgrade their jobs. The school’s curriculum, developed in close collaboration with the industry, and expert instructors from top companies like Walmart, BOSH, Infosys, IBM, FedEx, and JP Morgan, make sure that the students are ready for deployment as soon as they complete their training.
NSDC is a nodal skill development agency working under the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Government of India. The agency aims to catalyze the creation of a large and high-quality vocational training ecosystem in India and supports businesses, corporations, and organizations that provide skill training. Through concessional loans, other innovative financial instruments, and strategic alliances, the organization enables private-sector capacity creation in skill development.
By joining forces, OdinSchool and NSDC are aiming to make a lasting impact on India’s tech landscape and create a brighter and more dynamic future for technology enthusiasts. Through this partnership, teachers can be confident that their students are receiving the highest quality education and training that will prepare them for the demands of the industry.
