New Delhi : The India International Skill Centres (IISC) programme, launched as a pilot project in 14 centres across the country, has so far trained a total of 583 students in these centres. The IISCs focuses on skill testing and certification aligned with employer standards. The centres impart incremental skill training and pre-departure orientation training (PDOT) aimed at emerging opportunities in all regions of the world.

The centres provide counselling and guidance along with foreign employment support for employment opportunities in the overseas market, besides giving information on the required skill set, minimum wages etc to potential emigrants, minister of state for skill development and entrepreneurship Raj Kumar Singh informed the Rajya Sabha in a written reply on Friday.
