"Telecom Skilling on Wheels," is a visionary project developed by Telecom Sector Skill Council and aimed at promoting mobile skill development in new age and core telecom technologies, but with a unique twist - it's all on wheels!
"Telecom Skilling on Wheels" is not your typical skill development program. It takes learning to the doorsteps of the rural and remote areas, reaching individuals who might otherwise struggle to access these essential training opportunities. To make this vision a reality, the Telecom Sector Skill Council has partnered with skill accelerator organizations, bringing together their expertise and resources to drive this skilling on wheels initiative.
In a country as vast and diverse as India, the challenge of skill development is manifold. While the government has been putting substantial efforts into enhancing the employability of the youth through skill development, accessibility to these programs remains a significant hurdle. This is where "Skilling on Wheels" steps in to bridge the gap.
This innovative project sees the conversion of buses and tempos into mobile classrooms, each equipped with state-of-the-art training facilities. These mobile units travel from one village to another, bringing essential telecom skills right to the doorstep of those who need it the most. The initiative takes learning to the people, making it more accessible and convenient for rural communities.
