Vocational Training in India: Overview of Skilling Initiatives

I am Dhruv Banga, currently working with CII Skills, where I focus on initiatives that empower youth through skill development, vocational training, and career readiness.

I’m passionate about creating real impact by connecting students and job seekers with industry-aligned opportunities. At CII, I work closely on promoting Model Career Centres (MCCs), supporting employer-led training programs, and building scalable solutions for a job-ready workforce. I regularly share updates, insights, and resources that help bridge the gap between education and employment in India.
