Women on Wings and the National Skill Development Corporation signed a Memorandum of Cooperation during a round table which was organized last week to celebrate Women on Wings’ 7th anniversary in New Delhi.
Growing need for skilled (wo)manpower
Women on Wings and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) will join hands in connecting skill development to job creating business models and vice versa. NSDC was set up as part of a national skill development mission to fulfil the growing need in India for skilled (wo)manpower across sectors and narrow existing gap between the demand and supply of skills. The business partners of Women on Wings are the type of organizations that NSDC targets.

According to Mr. Jaikant Singh, Head Partnership & State Alliance at NSDC, “The partnership will accelerate what NSDC and Women on Wings are doing. Skill development and employment go hand in hand. Women on Wings plays a critical role in improving the livelihood opportunities for women across the country”. Ronald van het Hof, Managing Director Women on Wings India added, “This partnership is a perfect match. Already in the first meeting we were convinced we can really contribute to each other’s goal.”
