The programme will pilot at Mundra and Bhuj in Gujarat comprising a batch of over 150 youth, it added.
"Both organisations look forward to witnessing the positive transformation of the youth involved in the programme.
"Based on the success of this initiative in Mundra and Bhuj, Adani Skill Development Centre intends to scale similar initiatives in more tier-II and III cities and remote locations with a target to upskill over 500 youth by 2024," Adani Skill Development Centre Operations Head Amitkumar Thakker said.
Sodexo will lead the training initiative with the course module development, coaches and guides, on-the-job training and certification, while the Adani Skill Development Centre will recruit the youth and provide infrastructure support.
