The document provides recommendations for developing sector skills bodies in India based on a study of international best practices. It examines the national skills systems of six countries and identifies lessons for India. Key recommendations include establishing sector bodies with clear remits and purposes, deep vertical structures at state/local levels, governance through representation of stakeholders, and quality assurance through an independent body. Sector bodies should set skills standards, develop qualifications, channel funding, and gather/share labor market intelligence while being accountable through business planning and transparency.

RECOMMENDATIONS © CITY & GUILDS System Development 1 A central list of initiatives in skill development. 2 Occupational Standards for a select number of industries. 3 A single establishment body for implementation of the NVQF. 4 Indian needs as principle driver of international involvement. 5 Promotion of the benefits of achieving qualifications. 6 Rationalisation of agency responsibilities & activities. 7 Clearer communication and reporting mechanisms.
Editor's Notes
- Key recommendations have been developed by: Assessing the key needs and gaps in current provision and system in India Establishing best practice internationally in development of sector bodies Drawing out practical implementation and development measures to create a system that fits India’s needs and structure, and follows good practice internationally.
- 1. Training Packages are ‘bundles’ of qualifications, comprising the competencies, standards and assessment practices. Are sector based eg. BSB07 is the package for Business Skills, owned by IBSA (Innovation and Business Skills Australia) sector skills council.
- These 8 points were developed from the research into the current state of affairs in India, coupled with good practice indicators from the six country reports and literature reviews. There are no central repositories for information. NOS are critical to be able to develop quality levels and qualification benchmarks. There are initiatives from MHRD and MoLE; how do the results of each dovetail? Involvement from Australia, Germany and Switzerland is not without a high level of self-interest; does their work serve India? Not enough widespread emphasis on benefits of achieving qualifications and undertaking training. This applies to employers also. As per point 3, there are overlapping responsibilities and projects; combining effort and resources could make more possible. Along with point 1, clearer remit for agencies and more transparent reporting would enable more impact and effectiveness. MES is an important scheme that may help to solve the unorganised sector problem; employers should promote modular skills.
