The Symbiosis Skills and Open University (SSOU) has signed an MoU with Domestic Workers Sector Skill Council (DWSSC) to become the training partner. Run by SSOU, a pilot course, funded by FICCI FLO, has been launched for 100 candidates in the job role of elderly caretaker (non-clinical) that will commence on October 22, 2018 at SSOU campus.
Skill training is just a small step in the direction of the university awarding a diploma for the domestic workers in the disciplines such as caregivers and housekeeping services. Currently, SSOU is conducting a three-year degree course for beauty and wellness.
