How can we up the employability levels in India before wiping out poverty??

Dget has already started Modular employability schemes ,vocational training partner registration and assessment ..

A very good idea. Once the vocational institutes opens up all  across the country it will help in increasing the employment level. at the same time the state government and Central Government should ensure the first step to proceed to the next one.

Not only vocational training centers but also, added vocational training streams of education. PARTICULARLY, KEEPING IN MIND OF THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IMPROVEMENT IN ALL AREAS.

Thanks Mr Badri,

Industry requires sound infrastructure to operate and here the Government is failing especially with poor power situation.

Better policies and correct priorities adopted by the industry and the candidates will help to alleviate and improve the employability position in the country. Apart from better policies, the candidates need to have focused priorities to improve their individual skills so that they can meet the job competency requirement when the job openings are available. This will help them to meet the job requirements.

Thanks for the referral, Natteraja...

The employability levels in India is really a matter of concern. Today the schools, colleges, and other educational institutions have been inculcating the students, including myself, for the purpose of appearing in the examinations to score high marks only and the educational systems have not been reinforced to provide any professional skills which in turn results in low level of employability. Even the subjects selected for any specialization by the students are also meant for passing the exams. The standard of education is at low profile. Hence, in my opinion, our education system needs reform with a view to enhance the employability level at all level. Learning by heart and vomiting the same in the tests is not a good system. The employability relates to the job or the profession which one likes to choose and therefore it is very much necessary to be qualified for the particular profession. Our education system should give self-confidence to accept the challenges and to work independently with self-motivation in the ever changing environment.

Thanks for the referral Mr. Ravindra Sharma Ji.

I truely support this because the present need is to prepare a person in the field in which he/she is confident or likes to work for longer.

True. Revamp education.

Make schooling even better. Teach students the art of learning (how to learn) instead of teaching them how to rote. Make education more humane oriented than making it analytical oriented. Teach students how to build great team and how to build human relationship than how to write perfect accounts and perfect solution to math problems. 

Also, make sure only deserving students go to become graduates. Whereas today every Tom, Dick and Harry are graduates and these people think that they have to do only jobs that are “Graduate Specific”. This is why we have so many unemployed graduates (in fact most of them may be unemployable for that post and get rejected by the company. However they wouldn’t consider any other lower position). Most of them are no doubt qualified, but they neither have the subject knowledge or common sense. Hence, by making graduation very expensive and very tough and by giving scholarship only to very deserving candidates there would be a meaning to being a graduate.

This way, every one can’t become graduates and there won’t be people waiting (despite being unemployed for a long time) to get a “Graduate Specific” job. They also wouldn’t feel it below their dignity to do any other work. Since they are only able to clear high school they would go in for any work. Also many people would consider taking up “job specific” vocational courses after school.And people would seriously consider vocational courses like carpentry, plumbing, A/c technician, etc., etc., and eventually there would be a great demand for these persons. This would also bring proper recognition for these professions and bring about dignity of labour. 

This way, unemployment would be reduced.And then they start working about 3 to 5 years early too. 

Manasi I must admire your thought.

Entrepreneurship is the way forward! As an entrepreneur we can CREAT our own opportunity rather than waiting for  ideal opportunity .Its been long time we are blaming the government and employment scenarios.Now its time to wake up and build our own fortune!
