Jindal Stainless has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nasscom to provide its employees access to FutureSkills Prime (FSP), a digital skilling platform led by Nasscom in partnership with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India. The partnership will give Jindal Stainless employees access to courses covering emerging technologies and professional skills, along with industry-validated certification programmes.

Under the agreement, employees across Jindal Stainless will be able to use the FutureSkills Prime platform and enrol in courses offered through its network of learning and content partners. The platform provides programmes covering different levels of digital skills, from basic learning to advanced technology courses.

FutureSkills Prime offers courses in Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Internet of Things, Blockchain and Digital Leadership. Employees can choose from self-paced programmes, instructor-led courses, short modules and longer learning programmes.

Eligible courses also provide assessment and certification through programmes validated by SSC Nasscom. Jindal Stainless will have a dedicated learning group on the platform to support employee participation and engagement. Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, said, “The pace of technological change is reshaping industries and redefining the skills required for efficient functioning in the workplace. For an organisation, staying ahead therefore depends not only on adopting new technologies, but also on continually building the capabilities to use them effectively. We believe learning and upskilling must be an ongoing part of professional development, enabling our people to adapt and contribute to the organisation’s evolving needs. Our partnership with FutureSkills Prime is another step towards creating wider access to learning opportunities across the organisation.”

Sushil Baveja, Chief Human Resource Officer, Jindal Stainless, said, “People development is most effective when employees have access to learning that is relevant, flexible and suited to their individual levels of experience. Through FutureSkills Prime, our employees can choose from a range of programmes, from foundational digital skills to advanced courses, and pursue recognised certifications at their own pace. The platform gives us a scalable way to facilitate continuous learning across the workforce, while enabling employees to take greater ownership of their professional development.”
