New Delhi : “Education and training ecosystem is undergoing a fast transition phase. On the one hand, our institutions are creating skilled workforce but on the other hand, the industry is facing the drought of the appropriately skilled workforce.
Somewhere in the country, we have an abundance of degree holders without work but on some other places, industry is not able to find even unskilled workers to work. In order to address this challenge, we need intensive work out by thinking the problems from the Indian perspective.
With a vision to strengthen education system, technical, vocational education and training (TVET) ecosystem, to bridge the gaps between the education, skill development and industry, New Delhi-based not-for-profit startup “Federation of Education and Skill Development Institutions and Personnel (FESDIP)”, has decided to commence its services by the mid of the year.
Initially, the federation ( www.fesdip.com )will start operations from the New Delhi-based premises, volunteered by TeamServe Professional Network, will later establish headquarters at New Delhi and its six regional offices by the end of the year. The FESDIP Secretariat will start functioning under the able guidance of Mr. Ravinder Chanana, Principal Consultant will act as the Interim Chief Executive Officer of the federation. Being a technology driven organization, the federation will also focus on internet based platforms for presence in the remotest part of the country. With a mandate to enrich the information repository, enhance the outreach and spread awareness, FESDIP has signed an MoU with Skill Reporter.
