Globsyn Knowledge Foundation holds 3^rd National Skills Convocation.Over 1500 trainees awarded certificates; many of them get job offers.

Kolkata, July 29, 2016: The 3^rd National Skills Convocation was organised here today by the Kolkata-based Globsyn Knowledge Foundation in association with Globsyn Skills, a joint venture between the Globsyn Group and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), and also eastern India’s largest skill development organisation.

The Chief Guest for the 3^rd National Skills Convocation was Mr. Ranjan Choudhury, Head – Investing and Incentivizing, and Head – WorldSkills India, National Skill Development Corporation while the Guests of Honour was Dr. Subrata Kumar Dey, Vice Chancellor, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology.

At this Convocation, the achievements of more than 1500 trainees who had been a part of Globsyn’s skill development programmes nationally during the year 2015-16 – in sectors like IT/ ITeS, Banking, Tourism & Hospitality, Beauty & Wellness, Logistics, Retail and several others – were recognised and acknowledged through the award of certificates. While Globsyn has successfully connected 10000+ skills trainees with job opportunities during the year, 20 of them received job offers from well-known corporate organisations at the event.

Following Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of ‘Skill India’, and his mandate of making vocational skills aspirational, the National Skills Convocation was first organised in 2014, conceptualised and introduced by Globsyn with the mission of ‘Making Skills Aspirational’; the 2^nd National Skills Convocation aimed at ‘Connecting Skills and Jobs Together’, while the 3^rd National Skills Convocation, held today, aimed to ‘Integrate Industry and Learners Together’. The underlying objective of organising National Skills Convocations is that it acts as catalysts for neutralising real or perceived differences among the youth coming from diverse backgrounds through the recognition of vocational training, and by making it aspirational among the youth to whom skills training is imparted.

Since 2014, the National Skills Convocations have provided these trainees under Globsyn’s various skill development programmes a visible platform not only for the acknowledgement and recognition of their achievements, but also for the improvement of their self-image, the development of their self-confidence, and for acquiring a sense of empowerment.

Moreover, these Convocations have been viewed by Globsyn as opportunities to recognise and acknowledge the vitally important roles of its training partners, its own training faculty and corporate organisations. As important ‘stakeholders of the skills ecosystem’, they have transformed the lives of the youth who have received skills training – with the training partners mobilising them, the training faculty ‘delivering’ to them and making their skills an economically viable livelihood option.

Rahul Dasgupta, Joint Managing Director, Globsyn Group said, “In order to attain the objectives of the Skill India mission as conceived of by our Hon’ble Prime Minister, Globsyn has been striving to recognize, certify and celebrate the efforts of the successful participants in its vocational training programmes through the National Skills Convocation. We will continue to organize similar events, which provide a forum for connecting the industry to the learner community and contribute towards making vocational training aspirational.“
