Industry Requirement Analysis

1. Mapping Industry Needs

The Global Skill Development Council of India (GSDCI) focuses on promoting eco-friendly and sustainable practices across industries. Mapping industry needs means understanding what specific Global skills are required in different sectors like renewable energy, waste management, organic farming, and water conservation, etc. GSDCI works closely with industries to identify current trends, technologies, and practices that are shaping the future of green jobs. This helps in designing training programs that are directly relevant to the needs of employers.

By mapping these industry needs, GSDCI ensures that training is aligned with actual job opportunities. For example, if the solar energy sector is growing, then GSDCI will introduce training modules for solar panel installation, maintenance, and system design. This approach makes sure that learners are not just gaining knowledge but are also job-ready, matching what the industry expects from a skilled worker.

2. Identifying Employability Skill Gaps in Various Job Roles

GSDCI plays an important role in identifying the skill gaps that exist between what the industry wants and what job seekers currently offer. These gaps could be in technical skills like equipment handling, or soft skills like teamwork and communication. For instance, in the waste management sector, many workers may know basic collection methods, but they might lack skills in scientific segregation, safety protocols, or using modern machines — areas where GSDCI steps in with focused training.

By conducting surveys, employer feedback sessions, and industry consultations, GSDCI identifies which job roles have the biggest gaps and updates its curriculum accordingly. This helps bridge the gap between training and employment, making candidates more employable and boosting their chances of getting better jobs in the green sector.

3. Identifying Potential Job Roles in Various Industry Sectors

GSDCI also identifies and promotes new and emerging job roles that are becoming important due to environmental changes and sustainability goals. These roles may not yet be well-known but are gaining importance, like “Green Building Technicians”, “Water Auditors”, or “E-waste Recyclers”. GSDCI keeps track of industry evolution and introduces courses that train students for such roles, preparing them for future job markets.

This identification process involves understanding global and national environmental goals, such as reducing carbon emissions or increasing renewable energy use. GSDCI uses this information to guide youth and job seekers towards careers that are not only sustainable but also in demand. This helps create a workforce that supports India’s green growth and meets industry demands efficiently.
