Lucknow, 23

March (HS): Uttar

Pradesh Skill Development Mission (UPSDM) has established the 'SpeedUp' Cell,

taking an important initiative towards preparing the youth for global

employment. This cell was inaugurated by Mission Director Pulkit Khare at the

UPSDM office, Lucknow. On this occasion, Mission Director Pulkit Khare said

that the objective of the 'SpeedUp' Cell is to provide training to the youth as

per the actual requirements of the industries, so that they can get quality and

quick employment opportunities after completing the training. He said that this

initiative will not only make the youth self-reliant but will also prepare them

for international employment.

He informed that the 'SpeedUp' model is based on four major pillars - analysis

of industrial demand, preparing youth for employment, effective implementation

of schemes and connecting them with global opportunities. Through this cell,

the needs of various companies will be assessed and courses will be developed

accordingly, so that the gap between training and employment can be reduced. The

Mission Director informed that along with technical training, youth will also

be given special training in soft skills like communication skills, personality

development and workplace behavior, so that they can become capable of working

in reputed companies in India and abroad.

To further enhance the effectiveness of this initiative, EY (Ernst & Young)

has been added as an expert partner, which will help strengthen the quality of

training and industry coordination. The 'SpeedUp' cell will act as a strong

bridge between the government and the private sector, significantly increasing

employment opportunities and improving their quality.
