NSDC, Mondelez India Partner To Empower 660 Youngsters

Mondelez India announced a collaboration with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to empower India's youth through skill development, building on the company's decade-long commitment to community development through the Shubh Aaramb programme.

The company has signed an MoU with NSDC to empower 660 young people across six distinct job roles in the districts of Bhind (Madhya Pradesh) and Pune (Maharashtra).

This programme will include Short Term Training (STT) with Qualification Pack (QP)-based training modules tailored to job roles in IT-ITeS, Management, Logistics, Tourism and Hospitality. It will include training in essential soft skills, job-specific skill orientation, tools and work methodologies, as well as assessments, certification and job placement assistance. According to the release, the programme will be tailored to the local context, addressing the specific needs of the youth in Bhind and Pune.

“Community development programmes like the Shubh Aaramb programme enable us to address specific regional needs while also aligning local industries with the demands of the job market, thereby stimulating economic growth. I firmly believe that by providing skill training to local youth in Bhind and Pune for job roles in sectors like IT-ITeS, Management, Logistics, and Tourism and Hospitality, we can significantly enhance their employability and empower them to actively engage in resolving local challenges, instilling a sense of ownership and community pride,” Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO, NSDC, said.
