EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES TO SKILL AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Only 2.3% of the workforce in India has undergone formal skill training required by industries as compared to 68% in the UK, 75% in Germany, 52% in the USA, 80% in Japan and 96% in South Korea. On the other hand, 48% of Indian employers reported difficulties filling job vacancies due to skill shortage. The report also says that 33% of the formally trained 15-29-year-olds were jobless. This is due to the fact that there is lack of industry-faculty interaction because of which the skill sets provided by the educational and training institutes do not end up suiting the employers’ requirements resulting into non-employment.  Thus, there is urgent need to bridge this gap to bring stability in the life of the rural population.
