Apparel Made-ups & Home Furnishing Sector Skill Council (AMHSSC) has started free online sewing training course especially for those who were adversely affected by COVID-19 and facing financial issues.
The skill certificate will be awarded after successful completion of the course.
Dr. Roopak Vasishtha, CEO & DG, AMHSSC told, “The training programme is for those who have basic knowledge of stitching; we guide them for specific product making as well as soft skill training. Along with training, we connect trainees with the apparel manufacturers so that they can get jobs also.
The training programme is for 4 days and 4 hours every day. The council is getting good response to this initiative and is planning to continue in near future.
AMH SSC has been launched jointly by the Ministry of Textiles, National Skill Development Corporation and the Apparel Export Promotion Council with primary mandate of enhancing and to build a capacity in skill development.
It is pertinent to mention here that various trade bodies and organisations of apparel and textile sector have supported people in different ways during the pandemic.
