National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has collaborated with Cisco Networking Academy to address the shortage of a tech-proficient workforce in India and create career opportunities for millions in the digital economy. 

The partnership will offer access to the Cisco Networking Academy courses through NSDC’s eSkill India platform, to provide comprehensive digital skills critical for the digital-first world. The demand for technical talent continues to outpace supply, and as an example, Cybersecurity demand is expected to increase five times over the next four years in India. 

Commenting on the partnership, Ms. Vandana Bhatnagar, Chief Program Officer, National Skill Development Corporation said, “NSDC endeavours to build a tech-enabled workforce to meet the evolving needs of the new-age work environment.  This partnership underscores a mutual commitment to make digital skilling accessible to all.” 

NSDC collaborates with CiscoHarish Krishnan, Managing Director, Public Affairs and Strategic Engagements at Cisco India said, “India’s demand for a digitally skilled workforce is expected to increase nine-fold by 2025. As we march steadily towards a digital economy, we need no less than a skilling revolution to bridge this considerable gap. This partnership with NSDC aims to upskill the existing talent in emerging technologies to drive innovation, accelerate growth, and transform India into a Digital Talent Nation.”

The partnership aims to enable free access to an industry-relevant global curriculum and content in Networking, Cybersecurity, Programming, the Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Essentials, and Linux. 

The Networking Academy offers courses to help develop foundational Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills needed to design, build and manage networks, along with soft skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and critical thinking.
