Safeducate,a part of Safexpress Group, has signed a Memorandum of Understand­ing (MoU) with Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS).

This remarkable tie-up will help create skilled workforce in the manpower intensive supply chain and logistics industry.

Safeducate has now become the Skill Knowledge Partner (SKP) of TISS and will drive the supply chain skilling revolution in India. The MoU was signed by

Divya Jain, CEO, Safeducate in the presence of TISS Director, S Parasurama­n and Deputy Director, Neela Dabir.

On the occasion, Jain said, “Safeducate has been in the field of training and skilling for over seven years now. This partnershi­p with one of India’s foremost education centre will help us get supply chain education to a coveted position, as well as create courses that are not just market driven but also aspiration­al for the students. We look forward to a brighter career for aspirants in this field by way of a robust vocational education system.”

Parasurama­n remarked, “Vocational courses have been designed with a definite vision to improve the lives of disadvanta­ged and marginalis­ed youth, especially those who are excluded by the formal school education system. TISS SVE (School of Vocational Education) has been set up to create an ecosystem that would bring back the dignity of labour for blue-collar streams of work and create a sustainabl­e source of income for them.”

Parasurama­n elaborated, “TISS is leading a skill developmen­t revolution through multiple types of interventi­ons in the area of skilling of unemployed and school dropout youth in India. Apart from the regular skilling programmes like short-term certificat­ion programmes and skill enhancemen­t programmes, TISS is also launching India’s first undergradu­ate degree programme in skilling, called Bachelors in Vocational Education (B Voc.).”
