NSDP
The National Skills Development Programme (NSDP), under the Ministry of Education & Human Resources, Tertiary Education & Scientific Research is a project announced in the budget 2016/2017 and is being implemented by the HRDC, which involves training of 4000 unemployed youths.
To better match skills with the demand of employers, the youth will be enlisted for training and placement in technical skills that are in demand. The training and placement will be of 3 to 12 months duration. The trainees will be paid a monthly stipend of Rs 5,000 + Rs. 1,000 travelling expenses based on attendance and upon satisfactory participation in the training.
In this context, KPTC devised 3 Courses for those youngsters who are currently unemployed and provided them with on-job placements as follows:
- Management of Building Services
- Operations Management for Aspiring Supervisors
- ICT Technical and Softskills Development Programme
For the above courses, KPTC catered for the training and on-job placements for 30 trainees (10 trainees for each of the above programme).
