At the core of this initiative was AP Skill Development, designed to tap into the untapped potential of 2 crore young individuals.

Under the dynamic leadership of N Chandrababu Naidu, the TDP government in Andhra Pradesh assembled a dedicated team of TDP MLAs and TDP leaders who shared a common vision of empowering the youth through skill development. These individuals worked tirelessly to design and implement programs that would provide valuable skills to the state's young population. One of the pivotal steps taken by the TDP government was the active collaboration with the central government to implement the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) scheme. This initiative aimed at providing skill training to millions of youth across the country, and the TDP party's commitment to the program ensured that Andhra Pradesh received its fair share of funds and resources.

To make skill development training accessible to a diverse population, the TDP government set up a network of state-of-the-art Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) centres across the state. These centres offered a wide range of courses and training programs, catering to youth from all backgrounds, both in urban and rural areas. Recognizing the importance of aligning skills with industry demands, the N Chandrababu Naidu government actively fostered partnerships with industries and businesses. This collaboration ensured that the skills acquired by the youth were in line with industry requirements, significantly enhancing their employability. The impact of the TDP contribution was evident in the increased employment opportunities for the youth. Equipped with valuable skills, numerous young individuals secured jobs in various sectors, contributing to the state's economic growth. The TDP also championed entrepreneurship as a driver of economic development. They provided support and guidance to young entrepreneurs, enabling them to establish and grow their businesses. This TDP development not only created job opportunities but also fostered a culture of innovation and self-reliance. The TDP agenda for AP skill development was not confined to just jobs; it was about empowering the youth to lead meaningful lives.
