Shivaneri Institute Aligns with NEP 2020 to Empower India’s Workforce
Tagline: “Empowering Bharat’s Youth Through Skill and Vision”
Pune, Maharashtra | October 6, 2025 – Shivaneri Institute of Vocational Education, a flagship initiative of the Shivaneri Knowledge Foundation, today reaffirms its commitment to the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 by offering vocational programs that focus on skill development, employability, and global exposure. With the launch of Certificate, Diploma, and Postgraduate Diploma programs, Shivaneri is setting a new benchmark in India’s vocational education landscape, producing graduates who are industry-ready, globally competent, and adaptable.
The NEP 2020 recognized that India’s education system required integration of vocational learning at all levels, ensuring students acquire practical skills alongside theoretical knowledge. Shivaneri Institute has implemented this vision by designing programs that bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-world employment, ensuring students are prepared for both domestic and international career opportunities.
Addressing India’s Skill Gap
Despite India producing over 1.2 crore graduates annually, unemployment remains high due to a mismatch between academic knowledge and industry requirements. Many graduates are educated but lack practical skills, professional experience, and global exposure, which are critical for employability in modern industries.
Shivaneri Institute addresses these challenges through:
- Industry-aligned curricula: Programs are designed based on the current needs of global industries, ensuring relevance and employability.
- Practical learning modules: Students participate in hands-on training, workshops, and simulations to gain workplace competence.
- International exposure: Paid internships and OJT abroad prepare students to adapt to multicultural workplaces.
- Soft skills development: Communication, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership are integral parts of the training.
“NEP 2020 provides a framework for India to develop a workforce that is skilled, globally competitive, and future-ready. At Shivaneri, we bring this framework to life by integrating practical skills, academic knowledge, and international exposure into every program,” said.
Programs Designed for Skill-Based Nation-Building
Shivaneri offers Certificate, Diploma, and PG Diploma programs specifically designed to prepare students for immediate employment:
- Certificate Programs: Short-term courses focused on quick skill acquisition to make students job-ready in sectors such as hospitality, IT, logistics, and business operations.
- Diploma Programs: In-depth training combining theory and practical skills, preparing students for professional roles and leadership positions.
- Postgraduate Diploma Programs: Advanced programs offering specialized industry knowledge, hands-on experience, and opportunities for international placements.
All programs incorporate paid On-the-Job Training (OJT), enabling students to gain financial independence, practical exposure, and real-world confidence before completing their academic programs.
Global Exposure: A Key Component of NEP Alignment
One of the most unique aspects of Shivaneri’s programs is the integration of international work experience. Students have access to paid internships and placements in countries such as the UAE, UK, Canada, Singapore, and Australia, allowing them to:
- Develop hands-on experience in international workplaces.
- Understand global business standards and protocols.
- Enhance cross-cultural communication skills, preparing them for multinational environments.
- Explore NRI status benefits for long-term international career opportunities.
This approach ensures students graduate with both credentials and experience, making them highly competitive in the job market.
Supporting National Workforce Development
Shivaneri Institute’s alignment with NEP 2020 goes beyond classroom education; it actively contributes to nation-building by:
- Supporting the Skill India Mission, which aims to create a trained and employable workforce.
- Reducing the graduate unemployment rate through skill-focused programs.
- Enhancing economic growth by producing professionals capable of contributing to both national and international industries.
- Empowering communities with sustainable employment opportunities, particularly for youth from underserved backgrounds.
“Our mission is not just education, but the creation of a skilled, adaptable, and globally competent workforce. This is how we contribute to India’s growth and the objectives of NEP 2020,” said.
Innovative Learning Model

- Classroom education: Academic knowledge aligned with NEP 2020.
- Vocational skill training: Practical, hands-on exercises designed to simulate real-world industry challenges.
