AP State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) is aiming at training two lakh people in next one year in various industry related skills.
This will be done by setting up six clusters for skill development in Visakhapatnam, Kakinada, Guntur, Nellore, Chittoor and Ananthapur districts. Eventually, all the 13 districts in the state will have one cluster.
This was stated by APSSDC Chief Executive Officer, Ganta Subbarao at a review meeting chaired by Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, according to a release issued here on Monday. The corporation is also aiming at training about 15 lakh people by 2018-19.
Each cluster will have six colleges where students will be trained in various skills based on their interest. These 36 colleges will eventually become centres of excellence.
The APSSDC has also proposed setting up a Skill Development University in 300-500 acres which will house Centres of Excellence, Manufacturing and R&D set up, entrepreneurship and incubation facilities, driver training institute, an integrated school and a consortium of industry bodies, the release said.
