The
skill
level and educational attainment of the workforce
determines the productivity as well as the ability
to adapt to the changing industrial environment. A
majority of Indian workforce does not possess
marketable skills which is an impediment in getting
decent employment and improving their economic
condition. While India has large young population,
only 5% of the Indian labour force in the age group
of 20-24 years has obtained vocational skills
through formal means whereas the percentage in
industrialized countries varies between 60% and 96%.
About 63% of the school students drop out at
different stages before reaching Class-X. Only about
2.5 million vocational training seats are available
in the country whereas about 12.8 million persons
enter the labour market every year. Even out of
these training places, very few are available for
early school dropouts. This signifies that a large
number of school drop outs do not have access to
skill development for improving their employability.
The educational entry requirements and long duration
of courses of the formal training system are some of
the impediments for a person of low educational
attainment to acquire skills for his livelihood.
Further, the largest share of new jobs in India is
likely to come from the unorganized sector that
employs up to 93 per cent of the national workforce,
but most of the training programmes cater to the
needs of the organized sector.
Hon’ble Minister of Finance
during the budget speech 2005-06 made the following
announcement:
“
To meet the demand for specific skills of a high
order, a Public Private Partnership between
Government and Industry is proposed to promote
skills development programme under the name ‘Skill
Development Initiative’….”.
Accordingly, Ministry of Labour & Employment
undertook development of a new strategic framework
for skill development for early school leavers and
existing workers, especially in the un-organised
sector in close consultation with industry, micro
enterprises in the un-organised sector, State
Governments, experts and academia which was
essential considering their educational, social and
economic background. The main objective of the
scheme is to provide employable skills to school
leavers, existing workers, ITI graduates, etc.
Existing skills of the persons can also be tested
and certified under this scheme. Priority will be
given to covering those above the age of 14 years
who have been or withdrawn as child labour to enable
them to learn employable skills in order to get
gainful employment. it is hoped that this website
will help in dissemination of the information about
the scheme and bring transparency. It will also
helpful in getting valuable feedback from
stakeholders and public at large.
The objective of the scheme are:
I.
to provide vocational
training to school leavers, existing workers, ITI
graduates, etc. to improve their employability by
optimally utilizing the infrastructure available in
Govt., private institutions and the Industry.
Existing skills of the persons can also be tested
and certified under this scheme.
II.
to build capacity in the
area of development of competency standards, course
curricula, learning material and assessment
standards in the country.
Key
Features of the Scheme
are:-
I.
Demand driven short
term training courses based on Modular Employable
Skills (MES) decided in consultation
with Industry. MES is the ‘minimum skills set’
which is sufficient for gainful employment.
II.
Central government will
facilitate and promote training while industry,
private sector and State Governments will train the
persons.
III.
Optimum utilisation
of existing infrastructure to make training cost
effective.
IV.
Flexible delivery
mechanism (part time, weekends, full time, onsite/
offsite) to suit needs of various target groups.
V.
Different levels of
programmes (Foundation level as well as skill
upgradation) to meet demands of various target
groups.
VI.
The services of existing
or retired faculty or guest faculty to be utilized.
VII.
Courses would also be
available for persons having completed 5th
standard.
VIII.
Testing & certification of
skills acquired informally.
IX.
Testing of skills of
trainees by independent assessing bodies, which
would not be involved in training delivery, to
ensure that it is done impartially.
X.
The essence of the
scheme is in the certification that will be
nationally and internationally recognized.
MES would benefit different target groups like :
o
Workers
seeking certification of their skills acquired
informally
o
workers and
ITI graduates seeking skill upgradation
o
early school
drop-outs and unemployed
o
Previously
child labour and their families
