We are building the future work-skills for an emerging generation, and your voice needs to shape it.
Our mission: Define, measure, and report the workforce skill development status in priority industry sectors across India, built with practitioners, for the next generation.
Be publicly recognised as an organisation that invests in India's talent pipeline, demonstrating leadership in your sector.
Directly influence the skills, competencies, and behaviours that the next generation of professionals will develop before they reach your door.
Show your stakeholders, clients, and community that you are invested in building industry, community, and nation, not just your bottom line.
Receive a personal invitation to the flagship event, plus a Certificate of Contribution as a founding member of ISM.
Attend in-person or online. Sessions run August through September. No preparation needed; simply bring your expertise and experience.
Complete three focused surveys at your own pace during the programme period. Targeted questions, no lengthy forms.
We work from a preliminary draft built on existing research, so you review and refine, rather than starting from scratch.
Set up online projects that help young people explore real work profiles and acquire relevant skills in your sector.
Working alongside an exclusive cohort of sector practitioners and educators, your input will define the authoritative benchmark for early-career readiness in your industry.
Key roles in your industry across post-secondary pathways, from apprenticeships through to graduate positions, accurately mapped to real-world expectations.
Durable and technical skills, competencies, and professional behaviours, with mastery levels defined so educators know exactly what good looks like.
All contributions build a shared, open-source knowledge base, freely available to educators, institutions, and employers nationwide.
We are seeking organisations from priority industry sectors who want to define what workforce-readiness really means, and do something about it.
