About Metiskill
Catalysing industry–academia partnerships to deliver market-oriented skill programs and real-world training.
Who we are
Metiskill is set up with the objective of catalysing industry-academia partnerships enabling the imparting of skill education to Indian youth in core industrial relevant job competencies, through appropriately designed (market oriented) skill education programs that enhance their employability quotient.
- Industry-Academia Partnerships
- On-the-Job Training
- 'Earn and Learn' Model
In furtherance of this objective, Metiskill has partnered with leading Indian universities which offer skill based apprenticeship/internship embedded graduation, PG diploma and certificate programs wherein 60-70% of the credits for the programs are earned through on-the-job training (OJT) at our partner industries. Considering the high weightage given to practical experience/OJT in these programs, they are very suitable to be implemented in 'Earn and Learn' formats, thereby making education accessible to millions of Indian youth who are compelled to work and earn at a young age due to economic considerations.
Leveraging the rich experience of its founders in leadership positions in industry and defence sectors, Metiskill has put in place the necessary infrastructure and robust systems & processes for mobilising, motivating and placing of the successful candidates.
