To create employability and employment opportunities, there is a need to focus on new age skills and step up the momentum of skilling, Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Mahendra Nath Pandey said on Saturday.
The minister said that to achieve these objectives, trainers need to be updated on new technologies. Pandey was speaking at the inauguration of L&T’s Skill Trainers Academy (STA) in Mumbai. He said L&T’s STA supports short-term skill training through a wide network of training providers and district nodal skill centres called Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra.
