According to the MOU, 30 training centres of India s largest vocational training provider ATDC has been approved by AICTE as SKILL KNOWLEDGE PROVIDER (SKP) under the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSFQ) Scheme. The NSQF is a nationally integrated education and competency based skill framework that will provide for multiple pathways, horizontal as well as vertical, both within vocational education and vocational training and among vocational education, vocational training, general education and technical education, thus linking one level of learning to another higher level. This initiative is aligned with ATDC s long-term courses for proper recognition and certification and in view of the practical difficulties in working with Institutions/Universities with only a State-level jurisdiction. This initiative is a very significant one as it certainly goes a long way in promoting skill based competency modules to be part of the skill certification levels where a student can undergo skill

47 based learning in textile, apparel and fashion sectors systematically and have both lateral and vertical mobility.
