The skill gap – “the divide between job-seekers skills and the skills demanded by industry” has been very high in India. At one end we have a very large young
population looking for employment opportunity and at the other end we have acute shortage of suitable skilled manpower at employer/industry end. SSDF is working towards bridging this gap by creating industry need based
\qualifications for new entrants as well as working professional which meets the national as well as international standards.
