The document discusses India's growing economy and workforce, and the need to provide vocational skills training to more of the population. It notes that currently only 2% of the workforce receives such training. IL&FS proposes a demand-driven, multi-stakeholder approach to skills development that establishes partnerships between government, industry, communities and training providers. Their methodology focuses on quality, practical skills aligned with industry needs, short courses to improve accessibility, and guaranteed jobs upon completion.

4. By 2026, majority of Indian population will be in younger
age bracket, but at present only 2% of them are
vocationally trained
However, they cannot be
classified as Employable
because:
- School Drop out ratio is very high
- Only 2% of the labour force aged
15-35 have received any
vocational training
- 67% of the labour force are either
illiterate or primary school level
educated
- 69% of unemployed are educated
but without professional training
or skills
- 36 % of the population in 2011 would be
people in age group of 15-34 years - Challenge is to ensure that this
Demographic Dividend does not
- These represent YOUTH entering workforce become Demographic Liability
26-Sep-11 4

5. Lower vocational trained population is primarily due
to supply driven approach
• Supply driven
• Mismatch between skills requirement of the industry and training in the
institutions
• Caters mainly to traditional manufacturing sector (only 10% of the total
workforce)
• Not catering to sunrise industries and services sectors
• Poor infrastructure / Lack of sufficient raw material, consumables
• Lack of motivated & well qualified trainers.
• Entry barriers for school drop-outs
• Long-duration courses increases opportunity cost of training for the beneficiary
• India has 5,000 industrial training institutes and 7,000 vocational schools, while
PRC has about 500,000 vocational schools.
