Integrate skilling in higher education - Community colleges and Bachelor of Vocational Studies in over 5,000 colleges/ universities over 3 years [Total no. of colleges – 49,473]* 3
National Skill Qualification Framework (NSQF) to ensure that quality and standards meet sector specific requirements. Complete alignment with NSQF within stated timeline as per Notification dated
Quality & Certification 4
Adopt Sector Skill Council certification to ensure employer linkage to training programme
We will drive the quantity and quality of skills training across existing educational institutions, our ITIs and through a new set of dedicated institutions representing best-in-class vocational education
Where we are leveraging infrastructure under the purview of other Ministries such as MHRD & MoLE, we will play a supporting role
Those under ,MHRD have classically focused on academic approaches to vocational education… we will help ensure they are better aligned with the standards and requirements of industry and business
We will also aim to address the issue of low appeal amongst youth for skills training through these institutions
Those under MoLE have had insufficiently robust industry linkages… we will align these better with the requirements of the workplace
For the new institutions, we will initiate and drive these ourselves with support from others as required
These MSIs will address the deficits in our institutions today – where vocational education institutions have insufficient industry linkages and our ITIs have insufficient academic linkages
