Services Ltd. CSR initiative to skill 763 girls in telecom job roles
New Delhi, 28th November 2022: In an initiative to enhance the livelihood of
female students, Telecom Sector Skill Council (TSSC), today has announced
the partnership with SBI Cards & Payment Services Ltd. for placement-linked
skill development courses. Under this partnership, TSSC has launched a
Telecom Centre of Excellence (CoE) at the Government College for Girls in
Sector-14, Gurugram under a CSR initiative for women empowerment.
The centre was inaugurated by Hon'ble Shri Manohar Lal Khattar on 21st
November. The Telecom CoE setup houses theory classrooms, practical labs,
hybrid labs and an exclusive language centre for enhancing industry-oriented
vocational and soft skills. The centre is set to provide National Skills
Qualifications Framework (NSQF) and National Curriculum Framework (NCF)
aligned short-term courses in telecom service job roles. The project will
cater to 763 candidates over the span of two years beginning from September
this year.
Arvind Bali, CEO, Telecom Sector Skill Council said "The CSR project under
this collaboration will be a pertinent boost in skilling the female youth
and help them inculcate the spirit of self-reliance to explore 'new job
roles. TSSC has always been on the forefront of
skilling/upskilling/reskilling the youth talent to make them job ready and
this crucial partnership with SBICards for CSR is yet another step forward
to drive equality of opportunity for women and empower them."
The CSR project was envisioned under TSSCs Livelihood Enhancement and
Promotion (LEAP) Program which caters to basic and intermediate skill
building for upcoming and legacy telecom courses. The main objective of this
program is to impart the confidence and competence to candidates in telecom
trades to help support the rising demand for service, manufacturing, and
retail job roles. This will help elevate the industry as whole while
supporting the local talent for Haryana. The project was undertaken with
support from the Government Girls College and the Haryana CSR Trust who
functions for the successful completion of the project.
Rama Mohan Rao Amara, Managing Director & CEO, SBI Card said, "India is
already a hotspot of potential youth talent, and as a growing institution,
we are doing our share to improve the status of women in the workforce. We
are confident that this collaboration with TSSC will benefit women
candidates in Haryana and assist them in moving beyond theoretical courses
to become job ready. This is a one-year partnership, and we believe it will
add to the momentum of initiatives already underway by the government and
various companies to attract more female talent to the industry."
