India’s global skilling cooperation received a major boost as NIESBUD launched a 12-day training programme for South Sudanese officials on strengthening PPP-based models in the TVET ecosystem. The programme is sponsored by MEA under the ITEC framework and supported by UNESCO.
The 28-member delegation, comprising senior officials from education, labour, youth, sports, and higher education ministries, will study India’s industry-linked skilling architecture, including governance standards, entrepreneurship integration, and digital skilling innovations.
At Kaushal Bhawan, MSDE Secretary Debashree Mukherjee briefed the delegation on India’s unified approach through bodies such as DGT, NCVET, NSDC, Sector Skill Councils, and NIESBUD.
Business leaders in Guwahati noted that such international initiatives can strengthen India’s skill-export potential and create new opportunities for training collaborations. Local skill centres in Assam believe the programme could help position the Northeast as an active participant in India’s growing global skilling network.
