People in rural areas can soon approach Common Service Centres for training in various employment-oriented skills.
CSC e-Governance Services is all set to roll out various programmes through its centres across the country.
CSCs are ICT enabled centres that provide individual access to Internet and computer devices, in particular, to bridge the digital divide in rural areas.
The primary objective of the CSCs, currently numbering 1.70 lakh, is to bring e-governance services within the reach of the citizens.
CSCs are launching 13 programs on skilling, along with our technical partner, next month.
The short duration programmes involve basic level, and, in some cases, advanced level courses in areas such as electrical repair, assistant motor mechanic for two-wheeler and four wheeler, welding, mobile repair and even cybersecurity, among others.
The content will be supplemented through hands-on training with various industry partners, and aspirants will receive certificates after completion of the course and successful assessment.
