Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) and APAC News Network jointly organised a National Skill Conclave- 2024 at a hotel here on Friday.
The State Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath inaugurated the conclave.
The State government has signed six MoUs with Arizona State University and Thunderbird Global Management, TrustedJobs, Tatvik Ayurveda, Trained Nurses Association of India, GUVI Greek Network Private Limited, and RCPSDC (Rubber, Chemical and Petrochemical Skill Development Council).
Thirteen awards in various categories were also given to KIA India Pvt Ltd., Wadhwani Foundation, Schneider Electric among others.
Mr. Rajendranath said that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is giving top priority to providing education and skill knowledge to people. If the right skill knowledge is provided at a right time of the education, the employment opportunities will be better. The government is committed to taking all measures to bridge the gap between industry requirements and the skills of the workforce.
“I hope this conclave created a platform to bring together government, industry leaders and academics to create needs of skill development in the Industry 4.0 era. Based on the best practices in countries like South Korea and Germany, a cascading skill ecosystem has been established in Andhra Pradesh to meet the skilled human resource needs of the State, nation and the world,” Mr. Rajendranath said.
He later unveiled the logo of APSSDC named ‘Bhavitha’ and newsletter named ‘newSKILL’.
