TNSDC signs MoU with Rubber, Chemical & Petrochemical Skill Development Council

New Delhi, Mar 31 (KNN) In an effort to upskill people working in the rubber, chemical and petrochemical/plastic sectors especially the MSMEs, the Tamil Nadu Skill Development Corporation (TNSDC) has joined hands with the Rubber, Chemical & Petrochemical Skill Development Council (RCPSDC).

As per the Memorandum of Understanding, in Tamil Nadu, RCPSDC will develop National Skill Qualification Framework compliant course curriculum, assess and certify trainees based on National Occupational Standards (NOS) and promote industry participation in apprenticeship and placements.

RCPSDC has already skilled and up-skilled over 2.5 lakh candidates in association with various State Skill Development Missions. 

Tamil Nadu is the largest tyre manufacturing state in the country and is also a leader in plastics manufacturing so this presents ample opportunities for RCPSDC to make a difference to the skilling scenario, especially in rubber/ tyre and plastics domains, said Shewani Nagpal, COO of RCPSDC. 

RCPSDC is mandated to organize periodic Training of Trainers (ToT) programmes set up centres of excellence when mandated by TNSDC. (KNN Bureau)
