TNSDC to launch multilingual skill management tool by March

The new measure is to bring in a centralised system of selecting and monitoring skill training courses and institutions, besides tracking the trainees till they get employed. A senior TNSDC official told DT Next on Saturday that the Tamil Nadu Vision 2023 document envisages training and imparting skills to 2 crore individuals by 2023.

“To achieve this objective, the State government has taken pro-active measures to enhance the skilled work force in the state, both quantitatively and qualitatively, thereby transforming the state into a skill hub of the country,” he said. “Ultimately, this will attract investments to our state, resulting in large scale employment generation that would benefit out youth.”

He said that the new system, which could be accessed through internet, will serve as an interactive platform for all stakeholders involved in the skill training environment.

“It will enable candidates to register, view details of all courses available, the course duration and the syllabus adopted and apply to undergo skill training programmes conducted,” he said. Further, he said that it will also enable training providers to register, view and select candidates by contacting them either through email or SMS for mobilisation them for training.

Stating that the new system will ensure effective monitoring of all skill training programmes through interactive dash board, he said, “Its Management Information System (MIS) dashboard will have statistics of all candidates, training providers and employers.” The official added that the portal system will be bilingual (Tamil and English) and mobile friendly. “The system is expected to go live in March 2019,” he said.

At present, the TNSDC is imparting training in key sectors such as automobile, healthcare, textiles and apparel, IT-ITES, agriculture, leather, beauty and wellness, logistics, banking financial service and insurance, media and entertainment, construction, plumbing, retail, electronics, security services, telecom, food processing, gems and jewellery, and tourism and hospitality.
