With the ever increasing requirement of skilled-youth in the rapidly growing IT/Fashion related sectors, there is distinct rise in demand for skill-education courses from the new generation, ATDC said in a statement.

According to the MoU, 30 training centres of India s largest vocational training provider, ATDC have 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, both within vocational education and vocational training.

Vocational programmes will be offered by select 7 ATDCs already in the apparel textile clusters across India which includes ATDCs at Jaipur, Okhla, Noida, Faridabad, Tirupur, Thiruvananthapuram, Kolkata and Bhubaneshwar.
