INSSO will be visiting India between the 28th November and 7th December at the invitation of NSDC and the fledgling network of Indian Sector Skills Councils. Visiting New Delhi and Mumbai, Chairman Tom Bewick and International Project Manager, Sarah MacShane, will meet with a number of key industry representatives involved in the set up of the network. India became a full member of INSSO in June 2011.
Commenting on the visit, Tom Bewick said: “I’ve been visiting India since 2008 and in that time I have followed with interest how the country’s ambitious national skill development strategy is being implemented. The NSDC and SSCs are an important part of that equation and as someone who helped set up the UK system, including a sector skills council from scratch, I’m looking forward to sharing ideas with my Indian counterparts.”
