Skill Development Centres (SDCs)

An exclusive skill-development model designed to enhance the employability of educated job aspirants in Kerala. Instituted across the state, this flagship initiative was conceived as an industry-led public-private partnership model of skill training.

Salient features:

  1. Each CSP has a built-in area of 25,000 to 30,000 sq ft with state-of-the-art infrastructure to offer skill training of global standards.
  2. It facilitates networking between academia and industry.
  3. Skill training is undertaken either by firms independently or through operating partners with a consortium of companies.

Community skilling is tailored around accessibility to industry-relevant skills under four broad categories: Heavy machinery, Precision, Activity and IT.


ASAP has partnered with leading industrial partners from all prime sectors to impart skills to students. CSPs function on a hub-and-spoke model and collaborate with academic institutions, vocational training centres and the local industry to foster a skill-development ecosystem.
