In order to strive and develop the right talent to drive its growth, NASSCOM Sector Skills Council (NASSCOM-SSC) has introduced the Occupational Analysis (OS) Reports for the IT-BPM Industry.
 
Shashi Tharoor, Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Government of India, said, Reports like these are the first steps towards creating an understanding for the skills and behaviours required for the IT-BPM industry. This is a starting point in the direction of imparting skills for the relevant jobs. These reports give us a clear understanding of the opportunities of the industry.
 
As per the National Skills Mission, 150 million professionals would need to be skilled by various Sector Skills Councils by 2022 to make them employable. The Indian IT–BPM industry currently employs about 3 million people directly and about 9 million indirectly. The objective is to standardize and streamline the process, both for hiring and training as well as to facilitate the ‘job-readiness’ scenario.
 
Som Mittal, President, NASSCOM, said, The Occupational Analysis reports will encompass aspects of talent acquisition and transformation that will be positively impacted by standardization and globalization. These standards offer all stakeholders related to this industry, the clarity regarding the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary. The reports provide easily accessible standards and helps individuals and firms understand the requirements of a particular occupation.
