Pearson PLC and Educomp Solutions Launches IndiaCaN, to Provide Vocational Training in India

Previous

In the second deal, IndiaCan will train 2,000 TranSmart employees contractors from all across India over three years to international standards and certification benchmark, also preparing them for a BTEC qualification which will position Tran Smart as a quality and productivity leader in the logistics industry.

Sharad Talwar, CEO IndiaCan, said: "Educomp and its JV partner Pearson will provide training and certification on a par with the best globally. That's exciting because in the process we'll be creating a globally mobile workforce." Bhairavi Jani, CEO TranSmart, said: "For inclusive growth it will be imperative that we empower people from disadvantaged socio-economic background, with skills relevant for jobs of the 21st century."

IndiaCan plans a national network of more than 600 vocational training centres, focusing on jobs across segments such as finance, retail, IT and insurance. The JV's focus will be on delivering training in tier two and three cities.

One of IndiaCan's earlier coups was with Delhi Transport Corporation to train 500 drivers and conductors ahead of the Commonwealth Games next year.
