Objectives: The objective of the scheme are:

•  to provide vocational training to school leavers, existing workers, ITI graduates, etc. to improve their employability by optimally utilizing the infrastructure available in Govt., private institutions and the Industry. Existing skills of the persons can also be tested and certified under this scheme.
• to build capacity in the area of development of competency standards, course curricula, learning material and assessment standards in the country.

Key features of the scheme

1. Demand driven short term training courses based on Modular Employable Skills (MES) decided in consultation with Industry. MES is the ‘minimum skills set’ which is sufficient for gainful employment.
2. Central government will facilitate and promote training while industry, private sector and State Governments will train the persons.
3. Optimum utilization of existing infrastructure to make training cost effective.
4. Flexible delivery mechanism (part time, weekends, full time, onsite/ offsite) to suit needs of various target groups.
5. Different levels of programs (Foundation level as well as skill up gradation) to meet demands of various target groups.
6. The services of existing or retired faculty or guest faculty to be utilized.
7. Courses would also be available for persons having completed 5th standard.
8. Testing & certification of skills acquired informally.
9. Testing of skills of trainees by independent assessing bodies, which would not be involved in training delivery, to ensure that it is done impartially.
10. The essence of the scheme is in the certification that will be nationally and internationally recognized.

Project Output
One million persons would be trained or their existing skills tested and certified, over a period of five years. About 200 modules for employable skills as per Industry and labour market demands would be identified and course curriculum developed.
