Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is fast emerging as an effective tool to recognize informal learning and respect skills that are acquired by observing and practising on one’s own. Many industry sectors could benefit from PMKVY – RPL since they are heavily dependent on semi-skilled and informally skilled workforce who can brought into the mainstream through RPL certification.

On 30th May 2017, Rustomjee Academy for Global Careers (RAGC) held a convocation ceremony for 160 candidates under Recognition for Prior Learning (RPL) program in Mumbai. The RPL Certification was focused on Tourism and Hospitality Sector Skill Council in Mumbai. Till date, more than 2000 students have been trained under RPL program for skills in hospitality and construction by RAGC thus contributing to Skill India initiative of our Honorable Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi.

Organizations like WIPRO- TCS- Wockhardt Hospital & Fortis Hospital have responded positively towards RAGC’s training program.

RAGC RPL convocation1The Chief Guest Ashish Shelar addressed the Candidates and motivated them by explaining the benefits of the Skill India’s RPL initiative, and appreciated RAGC for taking up the Initiative of training people and providing them with requisite recognition.
