YSDP is a comprehensive programme led by Care Skill Academy. The academy will utilise its expertise in methodology to produce industry specific skilled work force. Twenty candidates will attend the programme that will end in two months. Post this training, ESSCI personnel will examine the candidates and certify them with NSDC certification. YSDP aims 100% job placement for certified candidates and would thus aim to be a great opportunity to have win-win situation for Konica Minolta, partners and the candidates.

According to Konica Minolta, two primary objectives the company aspires to achieve from the initiative are producing industry specific skilled manpower and achieve lower attrition rate which is a major challenge in the industry.

The programme flagged off on 1 December 2016. Konica Minolta will bear the entire cost of the programme, including training, food and accommodation.
