New Delhi: The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Nassom on Monday joined hands to provide digital skills to youth in sectors other than IT, with an aim to reskill and upskill 1 lakh youth in the coming two years.
Seven target sectors have been identified to begin with, including banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, green jobs, hospitality and live sciences, the top industry chambers said in a statement.
“Our partnership will equip non-IT professionals with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age,” said Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII.
“CII will leverage its over 10,000 direct corporate members and over 3 lakh enterprises from affiliated national and regional sectoral industry associations to facilitate digital re-skilling and up-skilling,” Banerjee added.
The initiative will also help build digital fluency on emerging technologies by providing micro-learning content.
