The overall plan, as part of this programme is to encourage an LIP to setup an Apex Skill Development Centre (ASDC). The ASDC may also associate with national/ international partners (called Sector Partners – SPs) to setup an interrelated high technology, modular, skilling facility at the ASDC and offer demand driven courses.
The ASDC, to be designed by the LIP, is envisioned to be setup as a State of the Art Centre of Excellence (CoE) in which the LIP brings in their best in class equipment/ tools/ machines/ simulators (commonly referred to as equipment) to be used for training purposes. The ASDC will be located in an existing ITI/ Industrial Estate/ any other appropriate space identified by the ASDC (in discussion with TNSDC). The ASDC can also associate with decentralized centres / spoke centres located at the SPs‟ facilities such as manufacturing/ assembly or machining units for the purpose of training.
The ASDC will be managed professionally by the LIP. The trainees who graduate from the ASDC may also function as Lead Trainers (for future programmes) as it provides them employment and keeps the system dynamic.
The ASDC will run under the overall operational management of the LIP. The LIP will be responsible for devising and implementing a three year rolling plan and ensuring that the ASDC is constantly upgraded and provides a high technology ecosystem for skilling/ upskilling/ re-skilling/ cross-skilling and multi-skilling. The LIP will be expected to generate revenues at the ASDC which can help offset the overall costs of the ASDC. It is proposed that the ASDC will evolve over its life into a Centre of Excellence (CoE). Therefore, in its business plan, the LIP will be required to suggest initiatives/ activities that will ensure the
transition of the ASDC into a CoE.
The modalities of implementation and the role of the LIP have been detailed in the Terms of Reference (Section 4) of this document.
TNSDC invites proposals from eligible LIPs for selection and appointment as a Lead Implementation Partner. TNSDC will execute an MoU with the selected LIP. It is proposed to sign the MoU before 31st January, 2022.
