CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

2011-04-04T09:20:00.000-07:00

Following procedure is used for developing course curricula
• Identification of Employable Skills set in a sector based on division of work in the Labour market.
• Development of training modules corresponding to skills set identified so as to provide training for specific & fit for purpose

NEED

2011-04-04T09:18:00.000-07:00

Low education levels in existing work force
67% of the existing work force is either illiterate or literate up to primary level of education

High School Drop out Rate
Over 200 million students enroll in Class I each year, but only 20 million of these are able to finish Class XII

90% of the students drop out at different stages before Class XII
63% of the students drop out before reaching Class X

They do not have necessary education and skills to be employed in the industry.

Comparing education levels of India’s adult population to other countries

Comparing India to countries with similar income levels – India does not underperform in primary education but has a comparative deficit in secondary education.
*These figures are from different years between 1998 and 2003 for the different countries

Unemployability of the “Educated”
The educated without professional skills constitute 69% of the total unemployed
NASSCOM — the Indian IT industry's trade association — reported that 75% of the fresh engineering grads recruited by domestic IT providers are unemployable.
Of roughly 509 million workers currently employed in India, only 12% are skilled.
Need to focus on the skills for the informal sector
The largest share of new jobs in India is supposed to come from the unorganized sector that employs up to 93% of the national workforce and produces 60% of GDP.
Informal sector has very low levels of productivity (incomes).
As per NSSO survey, large number of workers (around 30%) are living below the poverty line.
Provision of appropriate skills is important to increase the employment prospects and productivity of this workforce.

EMPLOYABLE SKILLS

2011-04-04T09:16:00.002-07:00

Frame work for skill development based on ‘Employable Skills (ES)’
Large opportunities for skill development are available for the below referred groups (educated unemployed youth). Most of the existing skill development programmes are long term in nature. Poor and less educated persons cannot afford long term training programmes due to higher entry qualifications, opportunity cost, etc. Therefore, a new framework for skill development has been evolved by the ANNAA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY to address the employability issues.

The key features of new framework for skill development are:
• Demand driven short term training courses based on modular employable skills decided in consultation with Industries.
• Flexible delivery mechanism (part time, week ends, full time)
• Different levels of programmes (foundation level as well as skill up gradation) to meet demands of various target groups
• Optimum utilization of existing infrastructure to make training cost effective.
• Testing of skills of trainees by independent assessing bodies who would not be involved in conduct of the training programme, to ensure that it is done impartially.
• Testing & certification of prior learning (skills of persons acquired informally) The Short Term courses would be based on “Employable Skills (ES)”.

The concept for the ES is:
• Identification of minimum skills set. Which is sufficient to get an employment in the Labour
• It allows skills upgradation, multi skilling, multi entry and exit, vertical mobility and life Long learning opportunities in a flexible manner.
• It also allows recognition of prior learning (certification of skills acquired informally) effectively.
• Courses could be available from different level in different vocations depending upon the need of the employer organisations.
• ES would benefit different target groups like:
Workers seeking certification of their skills acquired informally
Workers seeking skill upgradation
Early school drop-outs and unemployed
Previously child Labour and their family limit.

CERTIFICATE

2011-04-04T09:16:00.001-07:00

Successful persons will be awarded competency-based certificates issued by AKS GROUP OF INSTITUTIONS

EXAMINATION

2011-04-04T09:14:00.000-07:00

AKS will appoint Examine person to assess the competencies of the trained persons. The Examine person will be an independent person, which will not be involved in conducting the training programme. This, in turn, will ensure quality of training and credibility of the scheme. Keeping in view, the target of providing training/testing of one million persons through out the country and to avoid monopoly, more than one Examine person will be appointed for a sector or an area.

METHODOLOGY

2011-04-04T09:12:00.000-07:00

The training methods to be used should be appropriate to the development of competencies. The focus of the programme is on “performing” and not on “Knowing”. Lecturing will be restricted to the minimum necessary and emphasis to be given for learning through active participation and involvement.
The training methods will be individual centered to make each person a competent one. Opportunities for individual work will be provided. The learning process will be continuously monitored and feedback will be provided on individual basis.
Demonstrations using different models, audio visual aids and equipment will be used intensively.

STUDENTS AT TRAINING

2011-04-04T09:11:00.000-07:00

Possession of proper attitudes is one of the most important attributes of a competent person. Without proper attitudes, the performance of a person gets adversely affected. Hence, systematic efforts will be made to develop attitudes during the training programme.
The trainees deal with men, materials and machines. They handle sophisticated tools and instruments.
Positive attitudes have to be developed in the trainees by properly guiding them and setting up examples of good attitudes by demonstrated behaviors and by the environment provided during training.

CURRENT INDIAN SKILL SCENARIO

2011-04-04T09:06:00.002-07:00

64.8% of India’s population would be in the working age of 15-64 year up 2026, up from 62.9% in 2006. As the world population ages, India has the advantage of the demographic dividend. This demographic advantage that we enjoy – coupled with the prospect of global shortages in skilled labour – means that the country could be supplying skills to the world.
Of the 7.5 Crore jobs that will be created in the next 5 years, 75% (5.63 Crore) of them will require skills training. To achieve the 5 year goal, we need the capacity to train 1Crore/pa but the current vocational training capacity in India is 31 Lakhs/pa. A significant shortage that has led to the importing of labour.

PUBLIC VOCATIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM (PVTP)

2011-04-04T09:06:00.001-07:00

Identification of minimum skills set, which is sufficient to get an employment in the labour market.
