Flipkart, India’s homegrown e-commerce marketplace, has signed an MoU with the Assam Skill Development Mission to provide skill building training in the state through its Supply Chain Operations Academy. The initiative intends to help create a pool of skilled supply chain operations talent and provide relevant industry training and knowledge. This will further help bridge the skill gap and create employment opportunities in the expanding supply chain industry in the country. The MoU was signed between the Flipkart and the Assam Skill Development Mission in the presence of Shri Jayanta Mallabaruah, Hon’ble Minister, Skill Employment and Entrepreneurship Department, Government of Assam amongst others.
Flipkart has launched a specialised and robust training program under its Supply Chain Operations Academy to impart knowledge on various facets of the e-commerce supply chain, soft skills and safety. The courses designed and created by the Flipkart team provide a holistic experience and training to candidates with 15 days of digital classroom training and a 45-day on-the-job apprenticeship at Flipkart supply chain facilities, with a stipend of Rs. 17,500. The program aims to empower the youth with right-skilling opportunities to build careers in various aspects of supply chain management with industry accepted certification that can augment their employability. The students will be imparted skills and training through Flipkart’s Learning Management System, an online platform, where students can learn a diverse set of skills through courses on multiple domains of supply chain.
Shri Jayanta Mallabaruah, Hon’ble Minister, Skill Employment and Entrepreneurship Department, Government of Assam, said, “We constantly work with the industry and academia to upbring skilling initiatives and are delighted to partner with Flipkart to offer skill building courses under their Supply Chain Operations Academy.”
