Currently the company is training people on 40 different types of skills across six sectors - IT/ITES, automotive, retail, hospitality, construction and capital goods industry.
It has provided training to over 30,000 people especially in remote rural areas of the country since 2008, said Ananth Rao, chairman, Skillpro.
The company is working with more than 100 organizations including government, international agencies, corporate and NGOs for training people on specific skill as per the requirement of the organization.
"We have a highly qualified and experienced team that will enable us to achieve our mission of skilling one million people and putting them in jobs," Rao told reporters.
