SSSDC dons the mantle to prepare retiring soldiers for a second career after they retire, for the job roles of Security Supervisor, Private Security Officer and CCTV Supervisor.
National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) has signed MoUs with the Army and the Navy to skill the retiring personnel in domain training. The soldiers and sailors are already experienced in platform skills for they have been imparting military training to their subordinates throughout their Army/ Navy service. SSSDC takes the responsibility to train them to comfortably adapt to the practices of the private security sector.
Army personnel in great numbers have opted to associate with the Security Sector as trainers and assessors. With the announcement of the Government of various skilling schemes, the skilling mechanism in the country has expanded exponentially, thus providing tremendous opportunities for the employment of trainers and assessors. The industry is very keen to absorb such well-disciplined and honest workforce. A new focus on rehabilitating the soldiers on superannuation has been given impetus. It is well known that an Infantry Soldier often retires very early, at an average full of life age of 40 years, where one is left with a fair amount of energetic age to live. At this age, one can work in full swing, and can efficiently earn a decent livelihood by supplementing their pension. SSSDC is working with 19 regimental centers and have trained 13000 personnel till date.
We at SSSDC are proud to attain the opportunity to train the retired Army and Navy personnel who are already proficient in platform skill. It is a matter of our great pleasure and satisfaction to help and enable them re-establish their second inning of life in a respectable way. I feel SSSDC is the best benefitted entity in this transaction
