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 programs
cater to the needs of the organized sector.
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-organized sector in close consultation with
industry, micro enterprises in the un-organized
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have been or withdrawn as child labour to enable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.
Objective
Ø

school leavers, existing workers, ITI graduates,

Ø
To build capacity in the area of
development of competency standards, course
curricula, learning material and assessment
standards in the country.
