NSTI-Ws have been set up by Directorate General of Training, Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship to promote vocational and technical training for women). Functioning directly under the control of Central Government, the Skill Training is provided through CTS (Craftsmen Training Scheme) and CITS (Craftsmen Instructor Training Scheme) courses under Vocational Training Programmes. 

While Employability Skills (ES) is mandated as a curriculum in these NSTIs, there is a shortage of trainers who can train students on ES, build necessary life/career skills and ensure that they are ready for the world of work. Hence, Quest Alliance is introducing a Fellowship for young graduates to join NSTIs as trainers and bridge the gap of absent ES trainers. The facilitators will undergo a training of trainers. They will then be deployed to impart training, build and maintain strategic relationships with the NSTI and industry.
