In a significant development aimed at boosting the skilling quotient across hundreds of units involved in rubber, chemical and petrochemical (Plastic) sectors (especially MSMEs), the Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation (TNSDC) has joined hands with Rubber, Chemical & Petrochemical Skill Development Council (RCPSDC).
RCPSDC is the sector skill council for all three domains and has already skilled and upskilled over 2.5 lakh candidates in the country in association with various State Skill Development Missions.
RCPSDC’s scope of work in Tamil Nadu will include the design and development of an industry-ready curriculum, ensuring quality in skill training being imparted across all three domains, assessment and certification of candidates, industry engagement, etc.
Assessment and certification
“We are privileged to come on board with TNSDC, the apex body mandated with strengthening the skilling ecosystem in the State. Tamil Nadu is the largest tyre manufacturing State in the country and is also a leader in plastics manufacturing. This presents ample opportunities for RCPSDC to make a difference to the skilling scenario, especially in Rubber/Tyre and Plastics domains”, said Shewani Nagpal, COO of RCPSDC.
