NSDC joins hands with Safexpress

In a major move to further push for employment opportunities for the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Safexpress under ‘Project Udaan’. The agreement was signed by Dilip Chenoy, MD & CEO, NSDC and Safexpress. To contribute to the mission of NSDC and ‘Project Udaan’, Safexpress and Safeducate Learning, came together and got affiliated to NSDC in December, 2014. This initiative is expected to get operational from mid-January 2015 and will be implemented over a period of four years, skilling over 1500 people from the state of J&K. Safexpress will handhold J&K youth through this transition, right from educating them about the prospective careers, skilling them in the chosen courses, to finally settling them into their new roles and work environments.
About the partnership, Chenoy said, “We are absolutely confident in their capability to skill the youth of J&K and assisting in their placements, thereby bringing them to mainstream and changing their lives.” Commenting on the partnership, Divya Jain, Founder and CEO, Safeducate said, “It will indeed be challenging to skill and train people from a state which unfortunately isn’t much exposed to any other industry apart from tourism. We are excited to extend the corporate interface where and when it is most required and live up to the cause of ‘Project Udaan’.”
