The Heroes of Today is a collection of case studies on iLEAD programme of Aide et Action International (AEAI) South Asia.
AEAI South Asia realised that given the opportunity to learn and develop appropriate skills, youth from the marginalised and underprivileged communities can reach out to emerging opportunities and lead a dignified life. Hence, in an effort to equip them with skills required to meet the current market demands, AEAI launched the Institute for Livelihood Education and Development (iLEAD) programme in India. The programme is aimed at enabling dropout youth in the age group of 18 to 25 years from marginalised sections of society to gain sustainable and dignified livelihood through employability training in various trades.
Gopalan Skill Academy expands its portfolio of solutions to offer skill building solutions for the various sectors. As India gears itself for the Green Revolution, Gopalan Skill Academy is geared to leverage massive opportunities that exist in sectors by providing skill building solutions.
In its journey to create a world-class enterprise in the training and skill development domain, Gopalan Skill Academy has ventured into this exercise at our skill centres. Our centres provide learning solutions for business, Govt., PSUs, Universities, multilateral agencies/ NGOs and individuals.
Human resource is an essential determinant of economic growth and development. It consists
of different factors like education, health, migration, vocational training and (information
technology) IT development vocational training and skill development are among them.
Vocational training improves the productivity and production and enhances the efficiency of
the labour force. This paper attempts a study of skill development to facilitate higher growth
in economy.

India has one in every of the biggest technical work force within the world. However, compared to its population it's not significant and there's a tremendous scope of improvement during this area. In India, the emphasis has been on general education, with vocational education at the receiving end. This has resulted in large number of educated folks remaining unemployed. This phenomenon has currently been recognized by the planners and therefore there's a larger thrust on vocationalization of education. Another shortcoming within the area of technical and education is that until currently, the number of engineers graduating is more than the diploma holders. This is often creating an imbalance, as additional workforces are required at the lower level.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

7. It is within this context that any effort towards enabling and empowering the youth of India has to be seek, find, and
sustained. Skill building has to be viewed as a device to improve the efficacy and contribution of labour to overall
outputoftheeconomy.
Thus, our efforts should be towards planning and implementing those skill development initiatives that not only
empower the labour force with the skills that are required to do any job but also enhances their social acceptance
evenif80%ofthelabourforceiscomingfrominformaleconomy.
Intense Migration
Lack of Proper Wages
Lack of Skill Training
Stress on Informal Sector
Lack of Opportunities
Urge to Earn
than to be Skilled
There are three main challenges pertaining to the quantity
andqualityofworkinIndia:
A UNFPA study shares that the demographic dividend in
India is available for five decades from 2005-06 to 2055-56,
which is longest in the world. Adding on, India's working-age
population of 15-59 years is 62.5% of the total population
outgrowing the dependent population of children and
elderly people, representing a critical opportunity for
economic growth. Which means that labour force around
the world will decrease by 4% and in India it will increase by
32%. However, to use the labour force optimally we need to
calibrateboththedemandandsupply
1. Lack of employment opportunities: Fewer than 2
million jobs are created annually in the formal
market, whereas 4.75 million join India's workforce
eachyear
2. Informal jobs: Close to 81% of all employed persons
in India make a living by working in the informal
market.The proportion is higher for the younger age
group of 15-24 years and for those without
education or with education only up to secondary
school.
3. Lack of formal skill training: Only around a quarter
of the workforce aged 18-24 years have attained
secondary and higher secondary education, and
only 2.3% of the Indian workforce have acquired
formal training in skills, many among these still lack
job-relatedskills.
04
Workforce problems is India
Supporting Livelihoods
Skill Development Scenario in India
8. With their current demands, corporates have
initiated the skill development agenda by training
their required workforce on their relevant skills.
Under the umbrella of Corporate Social
Responsibility, corporates are training the workforce
to make them knowledgeable and desirable as per
thecurrentdemands.
The biggest challenge that we still face is the high
percentage of workforce from informal sector and
their lack of skills. When we say lack of skills is not
that they are completely devoid of doing a task,
rather we mean the way to perform an action with
the correct knowledge. Now when the economic
landscape is changing and customer demands are
changing we need to have a workforce that
understands the nuances of work and perform it
withmuchmoreefficiencyandwithproductivity.
As India is moving towards achieving $1.97 trillion
worth GDP over the upcoming decade the need to
bridge the skill gap is becoming more predominant.
As per a study every year 15 million youngsters enter
the workforce but 65% of them don't even have
knowledge on the basic workforce skills. With such
a high workforce population if enough focus is not
paid on training the workforce with the right skills we
canenterthephaseof“demographicdisaster”.
One such effort is towards the real estate and
automobile sector where AkzoNobel is empowering
the economically deprived youth of the community
by skill training them on wall painting. Through this
initiative they have been able train and inculcate
employability skills among millions of diverse youth
includingfemales.
Livelihood Development
How are Corporates Helping

10. This project helps to overcome these challenges and
creates better future. The wall painting training program
helps to develop jail inmates and their skill set to add more
value for their career development. The program trains
them on a skill that requires minimum educational
qualification and recognize them as the potential
workforceintheeconomy.
Majority of our trainees had dropped out during or after
upper secondary education due to uncertain situation. An
average family income of the trainees were very low,
ranging from ₹7000 - ₹20,000 per month, indicating a lack
of adequate resources to invest in education or training
thatcouldmakethememployable.
International and national law stipulates that
imprisonment should not be limited to the deprivation
of liberty alone. Rather, it should include opportunities
for prisoners to obtain knowledge and skills that can
assist them in their successful reintegration upon
release, with a view to avoiding future offending. As
imprisonment, in itself, is incapable of addressing
prisoners' social reintegration issues, the International
Covenant for Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) requires
that “the penitentiary system shall comprise treatment
of prisoners the essential aim of which shall be their
reformation and social rehabilitation”. International
Labour Organisation research has revealed that transitions
into the workforce are the smoothest when the demand for
labour is met by individuals equipped with employability
skillsaswellaswhenaccesstoinformationisensured.
Skill development in marginalised populations remains a
challenge due to the low levels of literacy, lack of
awareness regarding one's aspirations and strengths, a
diminished perception of self that leads to low levels of
motivation and confidence, and conditioning through
social circumstances. Jail inmates are one such category
thatrequiresupportinrehabilitationbackinsociety.

of trainees increased from
25% to 81% with
the project
Enhancing Human Capital
The combination of technical skills and life skills improved the human capital of the inmates. The economical value
of the inmates are improving as from being 'un' to 'semi' skilled they are being transformed to certified skilled
labourers.
This poses a serious need to uplift our community in terms of literacy, health status or skill development.To cater this
need the project deliverables are working for a community which is marginalized and neglected due to life
circumstances. After a time they do become a part of mainstream society but their depressing past continues with
them.
To overcome such life challenges the project promotes improving behavioural aspects as well where they are taught
onbasisofcommunication,management,positiveattitudeandhard-work.
Through the course they are not just learning the technical skill of wall painting but improved behavioural
characteristics. Human capital defined in terms of skills, qualification and behaviour improvement. Skill
development hence becomes a crucial aspect of human capital. India ranks on 115 position among the 157
countriesonHumanCapitalIndex.
The success path of the project is with the post training support for 3 months provided to each trainee to settle with
the new occupation.The program support the trainees with placement and the viability to work with a contractor for a
specific time period. If they feel the need to change their contractor we ensure the transition of the trainees. Also, our

automobile industry specific to paints. The decorative wall paint program is a Short Term Training program
implemented for the underprivileged youth which requires minimum educational qualification but is economically

from social and economic community. There break from community poses further challenges on their overall value
as humans. After their release they face challenges in involving back in society where they are unable to find suitable
employementduetotheirimprisonmentpast.

To empower and rehabilitate them back in society the project is focused on giving them an employability skill which
further ensures that they proivde job.The skill training is meant for even the most deprived individual who lacks basic
education. In our country, still education is equivalent to job than focusing on an individual capabilities. However, the
skill training program by AkzoNobel covers both the aspects employability and livelihood. It trains the
underprivileged community on decorative wall painting course which is an employable skill which even a person with
minimum or no educational qualification can learn. Post they learn the skill they are provided livelihood opportunities

Through the project and the report, AkzoNobel believe in promoting holistic and long-term approach in the skill
development sector. It is one of their way to build an sustainable ecosystem of skill development where the
