NSDC International, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), is set to train one lakh caregivers to meet the surging global demand for skilled healthcare professionals. With thousands of candidates already placed in countries like Germany, Japan, the UK, and Israel, the initiative is bridging the global caregiving skill gap by offering specialised training in healthcare, soft skills, and languages such as English, German, and Japanese. Backed by strategic partnerships with countries including the USA, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and GCC nations, NSDC International is responding to critical healthcare staff shortages. Recent recruitment by leading Japanese and German companies at competitive salaries highlights the training quality. Additionally, the organisation is working with international institutions like the University of Cambridge and Cambridge Boxhill to enhance certification standards.
Guwahati is witnessing a surge in interest from youth eager to explore global healthcare careers. Local skill centres, aligned with NSDC International’s standards, are preparing aspirants with internationally relevant competencies, boosting regional employment potential.
Alok Kumar, CEO, NSDC International, said, “As the world today strives to accomplish the SDG-3- Good Health and Wellbeing, we, at NSDC International, are leaving no stone unturned to facilitate global action towards accomplishing universal health coverage. We have not only designed tailored programmes but also actively explored partnerships opportunities with national and global institutions to train candidates with relevant skills to mitigate healthcare challenges. We have successfully deployed thousands of skilled caregivers across the world and are steadily revising our targets, accelerating our actions, and ensuring seamless integration of skilled professionals into the healthcare ecosystem.”
