In a groundbreaking collaboration, Medhavi Skills University (MSU), a UGC and NCVET recognised Skills University, and the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) under the aegis of MSDE (Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship) have joined hands to fast-track the convergence of skilling ecosystem with Higher Education as per the mandate of new National Education Policy 2020 (NEP2020).
The strategic partnership aims to enable NSDC Skill Training Partners across India to align, accredit, and formalize their short-term fee-based programs, enabling Academic Credits in line with the National Credit Framework (NCrF). This aligns with the apex regulatory bodies of Education, UGC, AICTE, and NCVET’s notification to integrate Skills education with Higher Education pathways, enhancing employability.
MSU will work closely with registered training partners of NSDC to align their short-term programs under the National Higher Education Qualification Framework (NHEQF) or National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF), notified by UGC and NCVET. Commenting on this partnership, Mr. Ved Mani Tiwari, CEO of the National Skills Development Corporation (NSDC), iterates, “Achieving Academic creditization ensures that certifications earned through skill training are recognized and valued by a wide spectrum of educational institutions and employers.
