Problem Description: Supply Side

(SOURCE:DEISPUNE.ORG)

• High dropout rates across the HRD system result in 16.6 million dropouts every year with 12.8 millionyouth need initial vocational training every year; existing Private & Public Institutional Capacity is 3.1million

• Lack of integration of formal education, vocational education & job market results in unemploymentgeneration on one hand and, ironically, a skills shortage in the industry.

Existing Framework for Vocational Education

Industrial Training Institutes

� Ironically, under the purveiw of Ministry of Labour while rest of the education system is under Ministry of HRD

� Disconnected from Industry, archaic curriculum not revised since 1960s

� Poor infrastructure, trainers

� Rigid entry & exit points, no modular approach to skill & certification levels

Polytechnics� Polytechnics affiliated to AICTE offering Diploma Programs

� Largely theoretical courseware,

Others

� Government Training Schemes (implemented through PIAs)

- Ministry of Rural Development (SGSY)

- Housing & Urban Development Department (SJSRY)

- Ministry of MSME through NSIC

- SC/ST Department through ITDA

� PPP models established by NSDC: Gram Tarang, B Able, Centum, IL&FS etc

• 12.8 million youth need initial vocational training every year; existing Private & Public Institutional Capacity is3.1 million

• India has under 10,000 ITI's and VET schools, China has 500,000 senior secondary vocational education andtraining schools.

The HRD system makes it almost impossible for a dropout to have a career progression into a white collar job, however skilled he may be

Career Ceiling for School Dropouts


• 65% dropout rate before class X – the entry barrier for ITIs & Polytechnics:

• Results in mass migration of dropouts to cities as unskilled labour or understudy in unorganized sector as driver, welder, waiter, electrician etc.

• Seasonal Employment for youth with no career path results in vicious cycle of poverty & become prime targets for extremist groups

• Trades like Fitter, Welder, Electrician, Plumber, Mason are perceived as Blue Collar and Aspiration of youth is for IT, ITES or softer jobs in Hospitality, Retail

Youth

• Govt. Schemes like NREGA & subsidies for BPL families have established a shadow minimum wage and a comfort level in the village and youth are not willing to migrate to industrial belts

• Vocational framework excludes more people than it excludes; HRD system is linear and rigid and does not allow multiple entry and exit points

Policy

• Acute Shortage of skilled manpower:

• Face high attrition levels of youth & poaching of skilled labour results in high recruitment & training expenses

• Industry cries without shedding tears and pay is not enough to entice youth

• Upskilling & career pathing would mean higher salary payouts which is against the basic industrial mindset of treating labour as a factor of input and not as a asset

Industry

Problem in matching supply & demand
