Creating a skilled workforce across India

India's construction industry is the second largest employer after agriculture, providing employment to about 35 million people. The advent of new and frontier technologies and the adoption of modern construction methods have increased the demand for skilled manpower and the objective of construction vocational training is to address this growing industry need.

We set up our first Construction Skills Training Institute (CSTI) in late 1995 at Chennai, Tamil Nadu and, presently with 8 more CSTIs, this has emerged as a successful model to address training and employment needs among youths for the construction industry. For 25 years, CSTIs have been developing skilled workforce through structured training that enables both new entrants and less experienced workers in the industry to progressively improve their knowledge and competencies in various trades. Construction skill standards have been formulated for different trades after carefully analysing the knowledge and the skill expected for each level of competency. In addition, different trade tests have been specified to assess the knowledge and skill levels attained.

In 2014, our instructors visited UK to study their skill ecosystem and explore adopting best practices across the CSTIs in India. The association has raised the bar and set the standard for quality teaching in India's construction sector.


Training of Master Trainers program (ToMT) for the Construction Sector

Along with the Department for International Development (DFID) & Construction Skill Development Council (CSDC), we conducted the first ever ToMT program for the construction sector. The training was imparted by a UK training partner, QFI (Qualification for Industry) aimed to develop skilled trainers in line with international best practices. The program was conducted for six job roles at two levels and successful trainees received 2 certifications: NSDC certified Master Trainer for specific job role and QFI certificate of learning achievement in both domain and platform skills.


MoU with common service centres

Collaborated with CSCs (Common Service Centres) under the Department of Electronics & Information Technology (DeitY) for skilling the rural youth through CSTIs across the country.


Partnership with NITI Aayog

Through our CSTIs, we are directly implementing skill development programmes among five aspirational districts in five states in partnership with NITI Aayog since 2019. While the State Governments provide the basic infrastructure, we invest to set up skill training centres and support the trainees in placement after training. Additionally, we play the role of a knowledge partner to about 30 Government ITIs across seven states, to promote training in construction trades and support to place the trained candidates.
