Manpower Overview

It’s an established fact now that skilled certified manpower demand and supply gap is steadily and continuously increasing since the year 2010. Earnest & Young recent study suggests that the industry is likely to require around 25,000 additional trained manpower in the next five years due to business growth and retirement or attrition in the sector due to the following key reasons:

Around 50% of current employees have more than 20 years of experience, and the majority is due to retire in the next 5–10 years. Very few competitive Govt. approved and Industry recognized Skill development institutes available in India producing trained quality manpower.

Converting the above threat into opportunity in mind, IESD (an approved training Institute under NSDC) follows a demand-led training approach to ensure the demand of the required job role exists in the market, offering gainful employment opportunities. A Govt and recognized certified candidate stands a better and fair chance of getting a job after successful completion of the offered Certification training program.

In addition, to facilitate placement linkages, IESD has a dedicated placement cell that closely works with a network of 100+ national placement partners, across sectors and locations, on an ongoing basis for possible placement of candidates.
