The National Skills Qualification Committee (NSQC) has approved the first qualification of the AB, viz.

The role involves operating, monitoring and maintaining equipment used in the production of decorative stainless steel pipes and tubes, including raw material handling, machine setup, forming, welding, polishing/finishing, inspection and packaging.

The initiative will be anchored at Stainless Academy, the education and skilling initiative of Jindal Stainless, which focuses on building a skilled blue- and white-collar workforce for the stainless steel ecosystem through industry-aligned training, curriculum development, specialised courses for ITIs, polytechnics and engineering colleges, and MSME cluster development.

The recognition will also enable Jindal Stainless Ltd. to develop NSQC approved, industry-led qualifications and certification programmes across manufacturing, processing, fabrication and other applications of stainless steel.
