Skill University Collaborates With ITE Of Singapore

To empower students and youth with essential skills and make them job-ready, the Telangana government today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), a prestigious organisation under the Government of Singapore.

The MoU was exchanged between Young India Skills University (YISU) Vice-Chancellor Subbarao and ITE Deputy Director Fabian Cheong.

The agreement was formalised in the presence of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, IT and Industries Minister Duddilla Sridhar Babu, and Special Chief Secretary (IT) Jayesh Ranjan.

This collaboration will enable ITE to extend its expertise in skill-training, ranging from basic technical education for 10th-grade students to advanced training for graduates as well as individuals of any age with an interest in improving their skills.

It also enables YISU to integrate ITE's globally acclaimed curriculum into the former's programs, ensuring that students and trainees benefit from world-class educational standards.

ITE, operating under the motto "Skills for the Future, Skills for Life", currently trains over 28,000 individuals through a comprehensive offering of 100 full-time courses available both online and on-campus. With partnerships spanning 5,000 industries, ITE provides targeted, job-oriented training programs tailored to the workforce requirements of various industries. The same ethos will now be adopted by Telangana's Young India Skills University (yisu.in), which aims to deliver industry-relevant training and job opportunities.

A significant outcome of this partnership will be the "Training for Trainers" initiative, under which YISU trainers will receive advanced training from ITE experts.

This collaboration is expected to help Telangana's efforts to build a robust skill-development ecosystem, fostering global employability, and driving economic growth through a skilled workforce.
