India-Japan cooperation in skill development under initiatives such as the Technical Intern Training Programme (TITP) and Specified Skill Workers Scheme (SSW) was one of the key focuses of the agenda of the discussions between PM Kishida and PM Modi during the recently held India-Japan Annual Summit.
India did commit to producing 5000 skilled manpower annually in various job roles for Japanese industry and allied sectors, both for domestic and overseas demand. Some of these may be absorbed domestically by the Japanese industrial units and their allied units in India.
Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) plans to produce 1500 skilled manpower under TITP and SSW each, around 1000 under JIM and JEC each annually. Till now, India has been able to send a total of 238 skilled manpower to Japan under TITP and the newly introduced SSW ever since the MSDE’s National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) started this initiative in 2019.
However, the following two years 2020 and 2021 were marked with Covid pandemic induced lockdown and restrictions slowing down the skill development initiatives and bringing them to almost halt.
There has also been discussions by two leaders as to how to engage more and more women workers to benefit from these schemes.
Given the significance of the above, the India-Japan Friendship Forum (IJFF) is organizing an exclusive session on “India-Japan cooperation for Women Empowerment: Focus on Technical Intern Training Programme (TITP) and Specified Skill Workers Scheme (SSW)” on 4th May 2022 (1100-1230 hrs IST) at FICCI Federation House, New Delhi.
