NASSCOM, a not-for-profit industry association, is the apex body for the 180-billion-dollar IT BPM industry in India, an industry that had made a phenomenal contribution to India’s GDP, exports, employment, infrastructure and global visibility. In India, this industry provides the highest employment in the private sector.
Established in 1988 and ever since, NASSCOM’s relentless pursuit has been to constantly support the IT BPM industry, in the latter’s continued journey towards seeking trust and respect from varied stakeholders, even as it reorients itself time and again to remain innovative without ever losing its humane and friendly touch.
NASSCOM is focused on building the architecture integral to the development of the IT BPM sector through policy advocacy and help in setting up the strategic direction for the sector to unleash its potential and dominate newer frontiers.
About FutureSkills PRIME
FutureSkills PRIME (Programme for Re-skilling/ Up-skilling of IT Manpower for Employability) The Government of India through MEITY and NASSCOM have partnered to build India’s Digital Talent Stack through FutureSkills PRIME, an online platform that aims to reskill & upskill Indian citizens and aims to impact 4 lakh beneficiaries over the next three years.
The programme aims “to create a re-skilling/ up-skilling ecosystem in emerging and futuristic technologies to facilitate continuous skill as well as knowledge enhancement of the IT professionals in line with their aspirations and aptitude in a self-paced digital skill environment.” This is envisioned as a first of its kind initiative in the field of skills training which would essentially follow an ‘aggregator of aggregators’ approach with the entire platform being hosted online. The platform would provide interested candidates with multiple options to address their skilling needs.
The platform would provide multiple options (over 70 job roles and 155 distinct tasks (NOS) under 10 new emerging technologies) to the interested candidates, for their skilling needs on:
▪ 3D Printing & Modelling
▪ Artificial Intelligence
▪ Big Data Analytics
▪ Blockchain
▪ Cloud Computing
▪ Cyber Security
▪ Internet of Things
▪ Web, Mobile Development & Marketing
▪ Robotic Process Automation
▪ Augmented Reality & Virtual Reality
Objectives
Although there are a number of course available to the learners in India, the need of the hour is to provide courses that are industry ready and based on the industry approved curriculum. NASSCOM SSC works with various companies, through industry working groups, to create curriculum and job competencies that are aligned with what the industry needs. In order to provide learners an opportunity to undertake courses that are aligned with industry approved curriculum, NASSCOM SSC maps/aligns the courses of the content/training providers to national occupational standards of various technologies and foundation curriculum. The exercise requires specific technical expertise and capability and understanding of the digital learning space.
In order to fulfill its objectives SSC NASSCOM intends to SHORTLIST CONSULTANT(S) for “Mapping of courses to SSC NASSCOM Standards and Foundation Curriculum” and hence invites this EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI)
Scope of Work
The scope of the project under the EOI(“project”) shall include (but will not be limited to) the following:
i. Mapping of 200-250 courses to National Occupation standards (NOS) / Foundation Curriculum (FC) (delivered in different modes like self-paced online, Online VILT & ILT (offline) or blended).
• Around 200-250 NOS/FC will be covered under this project
• Preference is to have a minimum of two courses per NOS / FC) (One course can map to multiple NOSs). However, number of courses to be mapped to a particular NOS/FC may change as the project progresses, depending on the demand and supply.
