Giridharan Ramasubramanian, managing director, Tamil Nadu Apex Skill Development Center for Logistics (TNASDCL) said, "The MoU is a blueprint for strong collaboration with the aim of enhancing the technical skill of youth and creating an employable pool of skilled manpower. This partnership between TNASDCL and VIZRU will result in employment creation as students will be trained to industry standards. It is our endeavour to identify employable youth, then train and upskill them on specific technology and logistic skills to make them industry-ready. Keeping this approach in mind, our tie-up with VIZRU is a significant step in the right direction.”

Ramesh Mahalingam, CEO, VIZRU, said, “India is investing heavily to build and upgrade its logistics and infrastructure. It is rapidly becoming a global supply chain and hub for manufacturing. This exponential growth means the logistics industry in India alone will need 25 -30 million additional skilled manpower in the next 10-years. With the recent emphasis on “Atmanirbhar Bharat“(Make in India), this demand may increase further.”

Under this initiative, VIZRU will conduct training for participants that want to upskill their knowledge in the areas of logistics through short term courses, workshops, contact classes, seminars, webinars, eLearning, entrepreneurship creation, and mentoring. The training will cover the necessary skills, tools, and technology knowledge required to work in the Logistics industry. In addition to the above training, selected candidates will also get an opportunity to join an apprenticeship program with VIZRU to work on various Zero-Code application development projects focused on the supply chain and logistic industry.

On successful completion of the course, TNASDCL and VIZRU will issue a joint co-branded certification either in a digital or physical form duly signed jointly by MD of TNASDCL, the CEO of the certifying agency LSC (Capt. TS Ramanujam) and the CEO of VIZRU.
