INDUSTRIAL TRAINING PROJECT
Aspect Comments
Need for
the project
• Pronounced skill gap both in terms of quality
and quantity in workforce for manufacturing
sector

either too expensive, too time-consuming or
not-effective

proposed
solution

practical-focused training courses, in
industrial clusters

Aspect Comments
Need for
the
project
• Households in urban India struggle to get
quality domestic help

appropriate wages, benefits that should be
available to any worker

tapping our database of domestic workers
(with backgrounds, documentation
checked)

households and also institutional clients
(such as housekeeping companies)
Status
