    IFC skills training program awaits Indians

    By Jenny Lei Ravelo // 07 February 2012

    An initiative aimed at building India’s workforce is on its way in the fast-emerging nation.

    International Finance Corp., in partnership with the National Institute of Entrepreneurs and Small Business Development, a veteran in organizing training programs, will develop training programs to address acute skills shortage in India. The project will help improve the business skills of corporate trainers and build a professional community among them.

    The program will make use of IFC’s Business Edge Training of Trainers methodology, a learning platform for small businesses that has already been used in 29 countries. It will aid India in its vision of building a skilled workforce of 500 million people by 2020.
