Core Projects ties up with GKS

Taking a step towards educating and enhancing the employment potential of youth in Gujarat, Core Projects and Technologies Ltd. (CORE) has joined hands with Gujarat Knowledge Society (GKS) to impart job-oriented skill up-gradation courses to students from various disciplines in colleges across Ahmedabad and Surat districts.

Core plans to roll-out skill development courses across 18 verticals in 2 zones – Ahmedabad and Surat – which have over 400 colleges. In total, these colleges cater to a student population of about 80,000-100,000. Core will be able to deliver its courses and technology-led training modules to these students. The company will extend full support to GKS in the implementation of its skill enhancement goals for government sponsored candidates, especially those from economically backward areas.

 

"This collaboration is as an opportunity to cater to the demands of the job market by empowering the youth with requisite skills leading to excellent job opportunities", said, Sanjeev Mansotra, chairman and managing director, Core Projects and Technologies Limited.

The association with GKS will help Core create visibility in the vocational industry and position itself as a multifaceted, quality-oriented training institution committed to the cause of bridging the skill-gaps across various industry segments at a national level.

The association is being given great importance by Core within its national plan for vocational training and education as it will provide the company a right platform to demonstrate its employability enhancement and skill-building programs in Gujarat.

The Government of India in recent years has laid a lot of emphasis on vocational education to fulfill the emerging need of the market by focusing on employability skills. On a pan-India level, Core intends to roll-out career oriented training programs across several sectors, including banking and financial services, retail and health care.

"The emphasis will be on quality placement opportunities generated by leveraging CORE’s strong industry linkages. The quality of a workforce drives standards of living and economic growth. We at core want to provide the youth of our country with choices that match their skills and passion with career opportunities", the company said in a statement.
