B.Project Background
 
The Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is a German state-owned organisation. We work worldwide in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. GIZ has a longstanding cooperation with India, including programmes for Private Sector Development (PSD) and Vocational Education and Training (VET). The Government of India and Germany has agreed to address the challenges around employment-oriented skills development which India is facing.

The program uses a cascading model approach of enhancing pedagogy through upskilling of ITI instructors, providing in-plant training for ITI trainees and focusing on improving their employability with local industry. Through this project, we aim to bring in a systemic change to the skilling environment using the German Dual VET methodology to create 40,000+ industry ready technicians by 2024.
