Ø On-the-job training:
Revamp of skilling policy on the anvil …… ET / 23 Jan 2023
Extract :
India is looking to
revamp its skilling framework to make on-the-job training mandatory across all short-term courses
while proposing to set up a global board of accreditation to bring industry focus in the ecosystem.
The move is aimed at
enhancing employability of the country’s youth and open
job opportunities for India’s skilled workforce in other countries. The new
policy will be industry centric with incentives for training and placements of candidates, a senior
government official told ET
“ The government is of the view that
achievement in terms of numbers of persons skilled under various schemes falls
far short of the requirements of skilling, in keeping with the growth of
population
Hence, ( there is ) a need for
relooking at our interventions “, the official quoted above said
Moreover, the government aims to impart
100 % skills
training to India’s projected labour force by 2047 and, hence, it see a case
for tweaking the current policy.
The 2015 policy for skilling had
targeted training 400
million youth by 2022, but it could impart training to barely an eighth of that target, partly because of
the outbreak of pandemic
The ministry of skills development and
entrepreneurship has sought stakeholders’ views on the new draft policy
“ Introduction of mandatory on-job-training through
wide-scale private sector
participation in all short-term courses ( is ) to expose candidates to
the actual work environment and to improve placements post OJT “, the ministry
said in the draft policy
