Skill training, a path towards a brighter future

An A4 sized black and white poster on street walls or a short column in the newspaper, confident looking models in the magazines or an informative buzz on the mobile, job news nowadays are easily reachable and available. Despite of having so many job vacancies throughout the country, a lot of people are suffering from the stigma of unemployment. Be it a recent MBA post-graduate, a diploma acquired candidate or even a highly-qualified professional, a major mismatch between the actual skills required and actual skills possessed by the applicant is faced by everyone. This calls for an increasing demand for skill development and skill training in order to develop a pool of productive and potential workforce for the country.

National Skill Development Corporation in India aims to promote skill development by creation of vocational institutions that provide necessary skills in order to sustain the labor force to meet the current modern economic demands. Vocational education and training can impart practical knowledge and skills to the amateur professionals where they can learn soft skills as well as technical skills. Corporate training also builds up confidence among employees who get an opportunity to showcase their actual expertise and hidden talent.

Improving the essential skills of existing workers through Corporate Skill training can have a positive impact for both, the organization as well as the employees as it will reduce the staff turnover rate, thereby, cutting down the additional cost incurred by the company to search for a replacement. This will also enhance the job satisfaction among employees which in return contributes to the company’s productivity and profitability. Effective skill training and development has become an indispensible ingredient for a healthy job market that will slowly trickle down to make the country economically strong and internationally competitive. The job buzz in such a scenario will be then considered effective and not a spam.
