Boosting Skillsets- Increasing the
Employability of Youth
2. Need to connect facts
An estimated 31% of employers worldwide find it difficult to
fill positions because of talent shortages in their markets
Demographic Dividend- 1/3rd of India below 20! – But need
adequate educational and economic opportunities
Since 1991, 100% of the net jobs created in India has been in
informal sector
India has 50% self employment and 90% informal
employment
47% of Indian graduates are not employable in any sector of
the knowledge economy
3. Three Level Solution
Employed Youth or Educated UnemployedYouth
In-College youth
School Level - Classes 7 onwards, where drop out rates
is highest
4. Pre-requisites for any skill development
plan
Dynamic databases of available jobs must be maintained
locally, district-wise, state wise, along with qualification
requirements
Needs investment in Information Technology infrastructure
for maintaining such a database
Will need partnership from private sector, across various
sizes of organizations
Gamut of data collection- but results will pay off
If India conducts Census, it can conduct this!
5. Employed / Educated Unemployed
48% of salary deducted towards mandatory benefits for wage
levels upto Rs. 6500 pm-Low wage employees cannot survive on
half the wages-Cause of informal employment
Need of advertising the benefits of Provident Fund
Financing structure for vocational training in form of loans for
students needed-guarantee of placements aids this- Maruti adopts
ITIs- similar adoption models needed
Sector Skill Councils of NSDC must partner with corresponding
industrial sectors to map demand best and trim its programs
While NSDC addresses a lot of issues, its programs need to be
advertised to invite more private players
6. In College Youth
Majority of youth are employed in IT, but school or college
curriculum seldom prepares students for it
Compulsory IT courses mapped to industry must be
introduced across all disciplines, in partnerships with training
institutes/app developing companies- extra costs can be
accommodated within existing fees
Proficiency in manufacturing stations needs skills like
milling, threading, welding, which can only be honed with
industry exposure
Training in industrial processes needed at engineering level
7. School Level Measures
General Perception: Education has low return on investment
Career fairs must be driven to schools for students above grade 7- high
drop out rates after grade 7
It is important for students to know of future prospects of
education, before they opt out of school to engage in other means of
employment
Organizing diverse career fairs is the key, encompassing various fields
from science, to fine arts, commerce etc.
Follow up with need based vocational education in schools and
counseling
This can start with computer education and imparting soft skills through
computers, since computer literacy is a mandate across govt. schools
Investment in computers and circulation of video modules in both
English and Vernacular languages is important- volunteers for video
content can be easily pooled in from major colleges
8. Teachers are the chief points of contact with students- need
for improvising teaching competence in government
schools
A 10 month B.Ed program, with <10% clearing it, may not
create a high quality teacher
A robust program for teachers that will improve subject
matter knowledge, teaching ability and intent, student
assessment has to be designed-like aTeach For India model
The problem of soft skills like poor communicability can be
gradually routed with improved teaching
Rather than be centrally directed, such programs need local
success first, implementation at district levels
Everyone needs a little inspiration!
9. Summary
Importance of soft skills to be emphasized across all
levels beginning with school
Leveraging Information Technology-soft/IT skills can
be imparted through video modules/lectures-less
expenditure compared to physically placing trainers
Invite private players in the process of skill
development
Work towards implementing best models across country
in small scales first e.g. model of Team Lease Services
Benchmarking quality of students graduating from
colleges against Indian and global levels
