On Thursday, the Maharashtra government signed three significant Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with prominent South Korean institutions to enhance skill development and create global job opportunities for its youth. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis highlighted that these agreements would facilitate the transfer of Korean expertise and advanced technology to India, directly benefiting students and contributing to the development of a skilled workforce. With 65% of India's population under the age of 35, the partnerships aim to transform this demographic into a valuable human resource. The MoUs include plans to establish advanced training centres in Maharashtra based on South Korea's 'Learning Factory' model, which will offer practical, industry-oriented training. The state aims to implement these agreements swiftly to support its ambition of becoming a $1 trillion economy. Additionally, a workshop held in Mumbai brought together experts from both nations to discuss the framework for lifelong learning and digital certification systems. The agreements also provide opportunities for faculty and alumni from Ratan Tata Maharashtra State Skills University to pursue advanced degrees in South Korea, fostering collaboration on sustainability and innovation.
