MNRE Invites Proposals for Skilling of Green Hydrogen Workforce.The program covers four key interventions: short-term training, upskilling through RPL, establishment of Centers of Excellence (CoEs).
Creating a Skilled Workforce for the Hydrogen Economy
What Skills Need to Be Developed? To address the skills gap, India must adopt a layered skilling framework that emphasizes both disciplinary depth
A coordinated skill development programme, that covers requirements in various segments, will be undertaken in coordination with the Ministry of Skill Development.
