NSDC International to train 0.1 million candidates as caregivers to meet global demand

The National Skills Development Corporation International (NSDCI), subsidiary of India’ apex skill development body the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), said it will train 0.1 million candidates as caregivers to meet the steady increase in demand for these workers across the globe.

In a statement issued on Tuesday, NSDCI said until now, the organisation has placed thousands of skilled caregivers across various countries, including Germany, Japan, UK and Israel.

Training includes not just core care skills but also soft skill training as well as language skills, including English, German, Japanese, to enhance employability of these candidates globally.


“As the world today strives to accomplish the Sustainable Development Goal-3 which deals with good health and wellbeing, NSDC International is leaving no stone unturned to facilitate global action towards accomplishing universal health coverage,” Alok Kumar, CEO, NSDC International, said.

According to Kumar, NSDCI has designed tailored programmes specific to each country and their requirements and is also actively exploring partnership opportunities with national and global institutions to train candidates with relevant skills to mitigate healthcare challenges.

“We have successfully deployed thousands of skilled caregivers across the world and are steadily revising our targets, accelerating our actions, and ensuring seamless integration of skilled professionals into the healthcare ecosystem,” he added.

NSDCI is of the view that many countries are struggling to cater to the burgeoning professionals’ demand, which ultimately affect their delivery.

“Till now, NSDCI has partnered with Canada, USA, UK, Australia, Germany, Singapore, Japan and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to help them meet their future demand,” it said.
