Message From...
Mr. Arun Nanda
Chairman, Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council
Dear Readers,
Hope you all enjoyed the first Volume of AAROHAN.
THSC is committed to addressing the challenges of
employment and employability of the Youth of India. It is
estimated that 12 million people enter the workforce in India
every year who not only need to gain employment, but who
also need to have the required skills for different job roles.
While this is a large number in itself, added to this, is the
complexity that about 93% of workers are in the informal
sector which is transient in nature. This clearly is an indication
for all planners and policy makers to prioritize employment
generation via all avenues to keep the youth of the country
constructively and gainfully employed. Towards this end Tourism plays an important and crucial
role.
Tourism and Hospitality Skill Council (THSC) takes a multi pronged approach to Placements.
All training and placement efforts are backed by Demand Aggregation from the Industry. This
is most certainly a strong step towards achieving the larger goals of Mission Skill India. THSC
is committed to work towards bridging this gap between Industry and Skilled youth to ensure
opportunities for jobs and self-employment through platforms like Campus Placements, Job
Fairs and our digital portal https://thsc.skillgrid.in.
Industry Leaders, Training Partners, State Skill Missions and all stake holders in the Skilling Eco
system must come together as one aligned force with THSC so that we truly reap the benefits
of having a young population in terms of economic growth and inclusiveness while fostering
prosperity for all.
