The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), the knowledge and implementation partner of the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), conducted a Skill Verification Program to transform the workforce and limit the recruitment of unskilled workers. The skill assessment process involves a competency-based examination conducted at NSDC-accredited international assessment centers. Candidates specializing in their respective fields undergo rigorous evaluation, followed by a joint certification from TakaMol and NSDCI validating their skills and qualifications.
The program has accredited ten international test centers in Delhi, Mumbai, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and West Bengal to verify the qualifications and skills of professionals seeking job opportunities in Saudi Arabia. These centers are expected to be introduced in other states in the future.
They play a crucial role in verifying the qualifications and skills of professionals seeking job opportunities in Saudi Arabia. The Skill Verification Program will be extended to new trades such as plastering, tiling, masonry, carpentry, automotive mechanical, and more. Mr. Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO, NSDC and MD, NSDC International, said, “Alongside training and coaching initiatives, the Skill Verification Program compliments our efforts towards developing a highly capable and efficient workforce.”
