The NSDCI and Odisha Skill Development Authority (OSDA) inked an MoU at the event to promote international workforce mobility for trained and certified employees from Odisha to other countries. While the NSDCI will assist in aggregating demand from several countries, the OSDA will assist in raising awareness, training, and funding for individuals who wish to work abroad.
The Union minister also inaugurated a World Skills Academy and a National Academy for Skill Teachers (NAST) at the SDI campus.

These three new world-class facilities will improve the quality of skill training to worldwide standards.
“Bridging the gap between overseas employers and skilled Indian youth, Skill India International Centre is a pivotal step towards accelerating international workforce mobility from Odisha. Initiatives launched today will not just open up overseas job opportunities for our youth, it will also go a long way in creating a world-class workforce equipped with the right skills to overcome global challenges and drive the future of work, the Union Minister stated.
