~ TPSDI's mobile learning centre is training and certifying 150 neighbourhood electricians in Raigad and Palghar districts ~
Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI), in partnership with Pratham Education Foundation (PEF), is providing skill-gap training to neighbourhood electricians and certifying them through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) program in Raigad and Palghar districts. Under this partnership, PEF mobilizes trainees from impoverished rural and urban areas, while TPSDI trains them through its mobile learning center, Skills-on-Wheels, which travels to various locations in these districts. TPSDI has committed to train 150 trainees in the first phase of this initiative and has already certified 109 so far at Usarli village near Panvel. TPSDI's training complements participants’ skills with safety practices and best practices in domestic wiring enhancing the employability of the trainees.
Skills-on-Wheels is designed to provide easy access to market-driven and employment-oriented skilling in the areas of domestic wiring and solar. Commenting on this initiative, Mr. Praveer Sinha, CEO & Managing Director, Tata Power said, "Through Skills-on-Wheels, TPSDI extends its footprint and impact beyond beyond its training hubs and enables easy access to market-driven and employment-oriented skilling to people who don't have the means to go through formal training. TPSDI's outreach through its mobile learning centres enables such people to be productive and enhance their livelihood. We are extremely happy with what TPSDI's skills-on-wheels centre is achieving in Raigad and Palghar, empowering people with skills for life."
