Samsung India (Samsung) had launched an innovative 'industry ready' training program during the month of August 2021. Branded as 'Samsung Digital & Offline Skills Training' (Samsung DOST), the program was aimed at training about 50,000 youths to create an uninterrupted labour supply in the domestic electronics retail market. In order to plan a seamless training delivery mechanism, Samsung had commenced a strategic alliance with National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), to facilitate the program delivery through its nationwide skills training centres. Identified to be one of the biggest training projects in the country, Samsung Dost was expected to reach out to the under privileged students through a community development approach. Designed on a hybrid platform, such a training delivery model had already started to win the hearts of the students across the target markets, right after inception. Whether the training program could ensure a steady supply of low-cost labour and address the employability gap in the electronics retail sector remained to be the moot question to be answered in the future.
