To launch an ‘Employment Linked Skill Training Program’ in Kohima, a MoU has been signed by JK Trust, a social initiative of Raymond, together with its supporting partners, with the Nagaland Government.
The project will be implemented for five years and 1,080 trainees will be trained and provided employment opportunities in Silver Spark Apparel Limited, Bengaluru.
The centre will be launched in the second week of September 2022.
The programme is supported by National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD), Silver Spark Apparel Limited (Raymond Group) and Directorate of Technical Education, Nagaland.
It is aimed at providing employment opportunities to the youth of Nagaland in garment industry.
The project will bridge the existing gap between skill training imparted and skill sets required by industry.
Ram Bhatnagar, CEO of JK Trust, said “As one of the most relatable household names when it comes to home-grown garment brands, Raymond aims to make a difference in the industry by providing skills to the future leaders of the same industry. This would boost the garment industry’s growth in Nagaland, provide employability to the youth of the state and set up Nagaland as a potential base for industrial growth.”
