Website for Delhi’s skilled professionals soon

The programme focuses on up-skilling workers in prominent trades across the beauty, leather, plumbing, handicraft, agriculture and construction among other sectors.

After distributing the certificates and congratulating all trainees, L-G Saxena said that every person has a skill by inheritance but needs to improvise by up-skilling through new techniques for upgradation.

“Youth who are up-skilled in the skill development programmes should not search for a job but make an entrepreneur to give jobs to others,” the L-G said.

“Very shortly a website will be launched to consolidate all skilled trainees on a single platform for accessing by clients requiring their professional services,” he added.

The programme will be implemented in two phases through Sector Skill Councils (SSCs) and their empanelled training providers; while 25,000 candidates will be upskilled in the first phase, 50,000 will follow the second.

Till date, more than 26,700 candidates have enrolled in the programme, out of which 26,424 have been trained and 22,283 have been certified in digital literacy, financial literacy and entrepreneurship development in specifically set up clusters and camps and other industry premises.
