NSDC AI cloud training initiative has been launched nationwide by the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and Cultus Education with support from Amazon Web Services (AWS). The programme aims to train 1.6 lakh learners, with a particular focus on youth from Tier-II and Tier-III cities and underserved communities. Under the initiative, 1.5 lakh learners will receive foundational AI and cloud literacy through AWS digital training modules. Another 10,000 candidates will undergo intensive, job-focused training through AWS re/Start, covering areas such as programming, networking, security and databases. The programme will be delivered entirely online, allowing learners outside major technology hubs to access training, hands-on labs and certification opportunities. A National Hackathon will also give participants an opportunity to present projects to employers and industry leaders. The initiative is aimed at creating a future-ready workforce and expanding access to AI and cloud careers beyond metropolitan cities.
