Over 22,000 Certified by NSDC for Global Job Mobility in 3 Years

04 Apr 2025 CW Team

Under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has trained 23,254 candidates and certified 22,455 individuals between 2022–23 and 2024–25 for international employment opportunities.

MSDE has signed Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and Memoranda of Cooperation (MoCs) with seven countries:

Australia Denmark Japan Germany Qatar Singapore United Arab Emirates (UAE)

These partnerships focus on expanding opportunities for the Indian workforce globally, promoting technical cooperation, joint training, mutual qualification recognition, and the exchange of best practices in vocational education and training.

Additionally, through MSDE’s advocacy, the New Delhi Leaders’ Declaration, adopted at the G20 Summit, endorsed the development of an international reference classification of occupations based on skills and qualifications to enhance cross-country comparability and recognition. This initiative will be undertaken by the International Labour Organization (ILO).

To further streamline skilled migration, NSDC has conducted an in-depth study of skill demand across 16 countries, namely: Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Germany, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Romania, Singapore, Sweden, USA, UAE, and UK.

In line with the Union Budget 2023–24, MSDE has proposed the creation of 30 Skill India International Centres (SIICs) across India. These hubs aim to facilitate overseas placements and ensure a ‘Trusted Workforce Supply Chain’ for fair and transparent global skilled mobility. As of now, two SIICs have been established—in Varanasi and Bhubaneswar—with five additional centres approved by the Project Steering Committee (PSC).

This information was provided by Shri Jayant Chaudhary, Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha on April 2, 2025.

The Union Government continues to strengthen institutional mechanisms to enhance the international mobility of Indian workers, students, researchers, and professionals. Through a proactive approach, the Government has entered into a range of bilateral agreements—including Migration and Mobility Partnerships, Labour Welfare Agreements, and Skill Development collaborations—with key destination countries to promote legal, skill-based migration and safeguard labour rights.
