The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development – KSA (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) signed a conference with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship India to significantly increase cooperation in skill development.
This strategic partnership aims to enhance the importance of international cooperation in skills, professional standards and sectoral councils. The conference was signed in the presence of Dr. Ahmed Alzahrani, Deputy Minister of Skill & Training, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development – KSA.
The National Skill Development Corporation India (NSDC) was set up as a one of its kind, Public Private Partnership Company with the primary mandate of catalysing the skills landscape in India. NSDC is a unique model and by far has trained more than 5.2 million students. Additionally, 235 private sector partnerships for training and capacity building were established, each to train at least 50,000 persons over 10 years.

Also, DP World has established a robust partnership with the National Skill Development Corporation, resulting in the upgrade of the Skill India International Centre in Varanasi last year.
