In a bid to promote skill development in the construction sector and also train 20,000 youth in the next six months, NBCC (India) Ltd on Wednesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Construction Skill Development Council of India.
The collaboration will work towards empowering youth with the relevant skills in various construction trades to make them employable as part of the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) programme. The RPL scheme would benefit workers including masons, carpenters, plumbers and electricians.
“The construction sector is the second largest industry in terms of manpower employment and the workforce requirement is around 4 million people per year to sustain the current growth rate. There is requirement for continuous skill upgradation and certification,” said A.K. Mittal, Chairman-Cum-Managing Director, NBCC.
