Targeting over 300 million people in the age group 18-50 years, who are seeking employment or re-employment, Vocational Academy India has launched Vocad, a service that seeks to bridge the gap between potential employees of rural India and India Inc.
Vocad intends to equip rural and semi-urban youth with the requisite skills to meet the expectations of modern India, while generating opportunities at the grassroots level, said Mr A.P. Srivatsan, Managing Director, Vocational Academy.
The Academy, which aims to be a multibrand educational institute, offers customised courses in various verticals such as retail, lifestyle, BFSI, travel, hospitality, telecom and healthcare. Course fee will be between Rs 5,000 and 7,500, which is approximately equivalent to the student’s first month salary, said Mr Srivatsan.
Vocad will work in three main segments: Learning Centres, Jobs Exchange and Upgrading Futures. The company plans to have at least 20 centres in the first year. |
