Online gaming pioneer and industry leader, Zupee, today announced the launch of their skilling academy, which will impart employable skills and promote equal opportunities in the youth of the country.
Zupee Skilling Academy (ZSA) will be the first-of-its-kind mission by a corporation, aimed at skilling, upskilling, and educating young, disadvantaged Indians. The idea is to prepare them for the future by getting them ready through skill training and ensuring that everyone in the program has equal opportunities for employment.Â
To kick off the mission, Zupee has joined hands with a leading NGO, NIIT Foundation, to launch a unique CSR vocational skill program for the underserved youth of Mumbai, enabling them to get entry-level jobs.
Dr. Subi Chaturvedi, Chief Corporate and Public Affairs Officer, Zupee said, “We are truly delighted to launch the Zupee Skilling Academy (ZSA), which is part of our broader CSR vision based on three key pillars focusing on Sustainability & ESG, equal opportunities through skilling and upskilling, and technology & gaming for good. We are happy to have NIIT Foundation as our first partner in the Zupee Skilling Academy
Commenting on the partnership, Sapna Moudgil, Director, NIIT Foundation, said, “We are thrilled to have Zupee on board as our CSR partner. This initiative will include a hybrid model, which will leverage our Learning Management System and in a co-curated program, which will be implemented by NIIT Foundation, students will have access to training modules, audio-visual media, ebooks, and other curriculum based study and testing material.
