To empower students and youth with essential skills and transform them into job-ready professionals, the Telangana government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Institute of Technical Education (ITE), a prestigious organisation under the Government of Singapore.

The agreement was formalised on Friday in the presence of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, Minister for IT and Industries Duddilla Sridhar Babu and Special Chief Secretary Jayesh Ranjan. The MoU was exchanged between Young India Skills University (YISU) Vice-Chancellor Subbarao and ITE Deputy Director Fabian Cheong.

This collaboration will enable ITE to extend its expertise in skill training, ranging from basic technical education for 10th-grade students to advanced training for graduates as well as individuals of any age with an interest in improving their skills.

ITE, operating under the motto “Skills for the Future, Skills for Life,” currently trains over 28,000 individuals through a comprehensive offering of 100 full-time courses available both online and on-campus. With partnerships spanning 5,000 industries, ITE provides targeted, job-oriented training programs tailored to the workforce requirements of these industries. The same ethos will now be adopted by Telangana’s Young India Skills University (yisu.in), which aims to deliver industry-relevant training and job opportunities.

A significant outcome of this partnership is the ‘Training for Trainers’ initiative, where YISU trainers will receive advanced training from ITE experts. Additionally, the MoU enables YISU to integrate ITE’s globally acclaimed curriculum into its programs, ensuring that students and trainees benefit from world-class educational standards.

This collaboration marks a milestone in Telangana's journey to building a robust skill development ecosystem, fostering global employability, and driving economic growth through a skilled workforce.
