Deen Dayal Upadahyay Kaushal Kendra (DDU-KK) is one of the university teaching centers for Skill development programmes at DAVV, Indore. The center was established in 2017 by receiving funds from UGC New Delhi under the scheme of Skill Development Until 2023 and thereafter runs on self finance basis. This center aims to provide Skill Based Education under the National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF). It is a well known fact that skills and knowledge are vital driving forces for social and economic growth of any country. In the current scenario, there exists a huge gap in “demand from industry and supply of graduate skilled workforce”. To fulfill this gap, UGC has implemented the schemes such as Community Colleges, B.Voc Degree Programmes, Deen Dayal Upadhyay Centers for Knowledge Acquisition and Upgradation of Skilled Human Abilities and Livelihood (KAUSHAL). At present, all these schemes have been merged into a single scheme for providing Skill Based Education under National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF).

Unlike Traditional Education schemes, the courses run under Skilled Based Education schemes follow flexible, multiple entry and exit facilities to the learners. It enables the learners to seek employment after any level of award and join back whenever feasible to upgrade qualifications either to move higher in job profile or in higher educational system. After 10+2, a learner may enter in a specific sector skill, completing 30, 60, 120 and 180 cumulative credits in 6 months, 1 year, 2 years and 3 years respectively, thereby awarding Certificate, Diploma, Advanced Diploma and B.Voc Degree according at NSQF level 4 to level 7. After completion of B.Voc degree, the learners may further move to PG Diploma, M.Voc Degree and Research Degree programmes mapped at NSQF level 8 to 10 respectively in a specific stream. With the aforementioned Skilled Based Education Scheme, DDU-KK is privileged to run Diploma, B.Voc and MVoc Programmes in Digital Marketing, Export & Import Mgmt, Nutrition & Dietetic, Software Development, Landscape Design and Masters of vocation in Nutrition & Dietetics.
