Softlink Academy, the skill development arm of Softlink Global bridging the skills gap in logistics, has signed an MoU with MITCON which specialises in skill development and employment-focused training.
This collaboration is part of LogiSKILL, a key program under Softlink Academy, the company said in a statement.
By combining Softlink Academy’s expertise in logistics technology with MITCON’s experience in skill development, this initiative aims to equip aspiring professionals with practical logistics expertise that will make them ready for jobs and careers in logistics, it said.
“Students will be trained on advanced technology and provided with industry-recognised certifications on program completion. Softlink Academy also includes LogiEXPERT, a globally recognised certification that validates expertise in logistics software and operations, helping professionals gain a competitive edge. Additionally, LogiLEARN fosters partnerships with educational institutions, integrating logistics-focused courses with industry exposure,” it said.
The company noted that despite being the second-largest employment generator in any country, yet the industry continues to face a critical talent shortage that further adds to the unemployed youth count in India.
By leveraging MITCON’s expertise in skill development and Softlink Global’s cutting-edge technology, the LogiSKILL program will provide specialised training for graduates, preparing them for diverse roles in logistics operations, back-office management, documentations and customs, the company added.
“Softlink Academy is committed to empowering young professionals with the right skills to drive logistics forward. Partnering with MITCON allows us to expand our mission and ensure that more students receive industry-focused, technology-driven training that prepares them for success,” Amit Maheshwari, Founder & CEO, Softlink Global, said.
Commenting on the development, Anand Chalwade, Managing Director, MITCON, said, “Our goal at MITCON has always been to create career opportunities through skill-based education. Collaborating with Softlink Academy enables us to strengthen logistics training and provide graduates with the expertise required for real-world employment.”
