CSIR-NCL SKILL INITIATIVE

CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory (CSIR-NCL), one of the flagship laboratories of CSIR in chemical science and engineering and allied research fields such as polymers, materials and biochemical sciences, has embarked on implementing the “Integrated Skill Initiative” program by offering various skill development and up-skilling courses for undergraduates, postgraduates and indeed to the youth who remain unemployed even after obtaining a degree. The workers and industry staff members will also be benefitted from the proposed program. The outline of the program is to bridge the gap between the industries and academia as a whole by enhancing the support towards entrepreneurship and creating a platform for students and professionals working in the industries. The emphasis is to create a robust and sustainable training module of trans-disciplinary nature for skilled workforce generation for industrial requirement. The “Skill Development Program (SDP)” will undoubtedly provide efficient training, superior analytical skills, communication skills, personality development, leadership, team building mastery of project tools and operation of high-end equipment. In the skill development module, CSIR-NCL offers long term as well as short term courses on nominal charges. The skilling courses are run in CSIR-NCL on the no-loss-no-profit principle along with the availability of decent accommodation facilities for the participants on a token amount. A pool of specialized experts in high technology areas are conducting about thirty courses in various fields. More than five hundred candidates have completed the courses in the areas of chemistry, life sciences and pharmaceutical industry and most of them have been benefitted immensely from this program.
