In June 2019, Quest Alliance in collaboration with Accenture and Cisco, partnered with the Directorate General of Training (DGT), New Delhi, to launch a digital learning platform designed to equip ITI students across India with core employability skills. The FRSN is creating a 160-hour digital and blended-learning employability skills curriculum module for ITI students, which will also be made available on the Bharat Skills Portal. Along with the National Instructional Media Institute (NIMI), FRSN helped revise the existing ES curriculum and supported the creation of new ES student workbooks and facilitator manuals.
Quest Alliance played a key role in developing the new Employability Skills curriculum in partnership with DGT, New Delhi.
Quest Alliance organized a Roundtable on ‘Driving Holistic Reforms in Women ITI Ecosystem in India’, with key stakeholders from the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, ITI Leadership, alumni, industry partners and developmental organizations. Key recommendations from their conversations have been consolidated into a 14-point charter to address barriers that women in ITIs face while entering the workforce.
