NGO Working for Skill Development - A Big Challenge for India

Skill development has been considered one of the critical aspects of job creation in India. India has a unique demographic advantage, with more than 60% of the population being in the young age group. But in order to ger dividend from such a large workforce, employability has to be improved. As per current statistics, only 10% of the fresh graduates are employable, and the rest of the 90% lack skills required for eligibility to be hired by corporate. India’s GDP is growing at a great rate of around 6-8%, but job creation is not catching up with it.

The Indian government has started a public-private partnership for skill development. Private education players have the chance to benefit from such a plan. The infrastructure that ITI and other government-funded institutions currently have is insufficient to prepare students for job opportunities in the future.

Finding future employment opportunities and segmenting them based on need and the viability of training applicants are the first steps in skill development. Stakeholders in skill development such as government organisations, state governments, private training facilities, major corporations, government approved NGO, etc., must be identified.

NGO for Skill Development is making a lot of room for a better economy. Finding future employment opportunities and segmenting them based on need and the viability of training applicants are the first steps in skill development. Stakeholders in skill development such as government organizations, state governments, private training facilities, major corporations, NGOs, etc., must be identified.

One of the government approved NGO, HLFPPT, has initiated Skill Development Programme. It aims: To develop a cadre of skilled human resources through quality training and offering sustainable livelihood options to the youth.

Through NGO for skill development across India, the program has successfully trained students in a variety of courses in 14 states since its inception in 2015 (UP, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, Mizoram, and Chhattisgarh).

First, the Skill Development Team carries out student mobilization operations in classrooms and colleges via presentations and posters, and in villages and local communities via mobilization vans, leaflet distribution, community meetings, etc. To mobilize potential students, the team also interacts with Village Pradhan and frontline employees (such ASHAs and AWWs). Higher secondary is the bare minimum need for enrolling in these courses.

After being chosen, students receive training in 30-student batches, with courses lasting anything between three months and a year, plus on-the-job training. Students are evaluated by the relevant Sector Skill Council following their course. For students who pass their assessments, HLFPPT arranges placements at both public and private healthcare facilities.
