Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) play a crucial role in the skill development ecosystem in India. Their job is to ensure that the training is relevant to industry needs and it is aligned with the national skill development policy. Hence, they are tasked with developing a robust training delivery mechanism that follows international standards and quality parameters. As autonomous bodies, they front-end various activities and take measures to identify and close the skill gaps. These include:

  • Communicate the requirements of industry verticals by identifying the skill gaps and creating Qualification Packs (QPs) and National Occupational Standards (NOS) under NSQF for a comprehensive list of job roles in the industry. These are validated by the companies in specific sectors.
  • Actively participate in conducting Train-the-trainer programs and empanel training partners and vocational training institutions to facilitate training
  • Asses and certify trainees on the basis of NSQF – NOS – QPs
  • Provide realtime information about the labour market through research and analysis to update all the stakeholders on the demand and supply
  • Contribute to the development of Labour Market Information System (LMIS) as an interactive dashboard to view the status and outcomes of various skill development and training initiatives

    We have a successful course for DTP and Printing Technology. But since there is no SSC for that, students are facing problems. It would be better, if you could start an SSC for DTP and Offset/Digital Printing Technology
