Admissions to Delhi's World Class Skill Centre would begin from August this year, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit announced Tuesday.
The centre has been developed in collaboration with the government of Singapore.

Initially, admission to Hospitality Operations and Retail Merchandising and other streams would be offered to a total of 320 students. The skill centre would provide vocational training to 1,000 people annually.
