NSDC PROJECT: The NATIONAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (NSDC)
is a scheme of the Government of India and Ministry of Finance. Its main
focus is on developing the skills of the youth and also focuses on the
interests of an individual. The Sector Skill Council is the authority responsible
for designing the curriculum for the individuals after assessing the needs and
demands of the market. IQST is the East and North East partner of NSDC.
When a student passes the exam, he is given two certificates, one which is
NSDC and IQST joint and the other one is of the Sector Skill Council which is
a huge advantage for the student.
OBJECTIVES OF MY S.I.P
The main objective of my S.I.P was to assess the training and development
needs of various organizations. The main motive of the project was to find
out how and what kind of training is done in the corporate houses and in
various other sectors of the industry.
A survey was conducted with the help of questionnaire and visiting various
companies. The purpose was to fill up the questionnaire by the HR of the
visited companies so as to get a clear and a broad idea about the Training &
Development of that particular company.
Corporate Training involves formal or informal education programs designed
to improve the skills of executives or workers. It can take the form of
teaching employees to fit into a new job, or it can be designed to improve
the skills of employees who are already on the job. The benefits they expect
to achieve commonly include increased revenues produced by more highly
trained or motivated employees along with improvements in employee
recruitment and retention.
The quality of employees and their development through training and
education are major factors in determining long-term profitability of a small
business. If good employees are hired and kept, It is good policy to invest in
the development of their skills, so they can increase their productivity.
Training often is considered for new employees only. This is a mistake
because ongoing training for current employees helps them adjust to rapidly
changing job requirements. There are many companies which refer to
corporate training with other terms, including Employee Development,
Human Resource Development, Learning and Development or Training and
Development.
The questionnaire revolved around these areas which the interviewee had to
answer during the assessment of their training and development needs.
also outsource training institutes for training the employees and the small
companies generally do not have any such cells for training the employees
because many do not have sufficient monetary funds while others do not feel
the need of doing any such kinds of programs for the employees. They have
this notion that the employees will learn their job while working and will be
well versed so no additional training is required at all. Some companies do
not even have HR or Administration departments as such so they do not
even know that training is required for the employees.

The market place is very different from the class room session. The
ground reality is very tough to be in.
Meetings are the best place to discuss various ideas and good
brainstorming session leads to creative and innovative ideas.
Patience is the key to achieving what one wants. It helps at the end of
the day
