Hydrocarbon Sector Skill Council (HSSC)

The Hydrocarbon Sector Skill Council (HSSC) is a national organization under the NSDC, set up to address the changing skill needs of India's oil and gas sector. As the industry is a significant contributor to the country's energy security and economic development, HSSC aims to develop a highly skilled and future-ready force that can adopt global operational standards.

HSSC is in partnership with prominent public and private sector organizations, training institutions, and industry specialists in creating competency-based training programs and occupation standards. It addresses upstream, midstream, and downstream segments such as exploration, refining, gas distribution, pipeline maintenance, and safety operations.

Through its guarantee of practical, industry-relevant training, HSSC equips people with the technical skills and qualifications to excel in challenging positions in the hydrocarbon space. The council further fosters safety, innovation, and sustainable solutions to contribute to India's energy targets for the long term.
