NSDC, Google come together to introduce Mobile Skill Development program
The two entities will work together to impart mobile development training on the Android and web platform to scale and improve the quality of mobile App development ecosystem in India.
Under the initiative, NSDC will introduce a specific course with a scope to train developers to create applications for the mobile platform that can be used on smartphone and tablets running on Android operating system. The 100-hour duration course is designed to be delivered by NSDC’s partner agencies, outside the formal education system.
NSDC and Google India will also work together to focus on up-skilling Android trainers under the program.
Announcing the collaboration, Manish Kumar, MD & CEO, NSDC said, “This is a timely association considering promising development in the telecommunication and IT sectors and their importance for economic progression of the country. The collaboration aims to accelerate mobile skill training and create opportunities for youth in the country.”
Peter Lubbers, Head of Google Developer Training said, “We believe India is uniquely placed to innovate and shape the internet experience of billions of users who are and will come online on the mobile platform. By building a world class curriculum and making it easily accessible to millions of students and developers in India, we want to contribute to the Skill India initiative.”
As per a study conducted by IMaCS (the management consulting arm of rating agency ICRA) on behalf of NSDC, India is likely to have an incremental requirement of 24.4 crore skilled people by 2022 in 21 high growth sectors. Liberalization, privatization and globalization has initiated all round reforms in many sectors. It is a fact that the growth of the country as a progressive and knowledge based economy will only be possible when there will be development and expansion in the telecommunication and IT & ITES sectors.
