M2OST? rolls into the Skills Sector!
The National Skill Development Policy (NSDP) 2009,targets at skilling 500 million people by 2022. The emphasis is on institution-based skills development through polytechnics, ITIs, vocational training centres, apprenticeship training, training for self-employment and entrepreneurial ventures, addressing the training requirements of retired persons, and expanding the outreach of e-learning and distance learning.
According to the NSDC, for an enabling Ecosystem in the Skills Sector there has to be a widespread and effective system of training and skilling employees is required, which takes into account spatial-, temporal-, and specification-matching considerations.
According to the E&Y ‘Knowledge Paper on Skill Development in India Learner First, September 2012’ Report, the framework for the creation of an efficient education delivery model for skilling is:
- Availability: Focuses on the needs of both learners and the labour market in order to make these skills available by forging partnerships between public administrators, suppliers of educational services, industry and civil society.
- Accessibility: Directly addresses learners’ demand coming from varied geographies and socio-economic backgrounds such as education levels, income levels, industrial growth, etc.
- Adaptability:Focuses on learners' priorities of vertical mobility for those pursuing skills, and will enable learners to shift from skill-based training to academics and vice versa. Also, meet learners' requirements for well-established competency standards, affiliation and accreditation.
- Acceptability: Facilitates learners' priorities in terms of quality of infrastructure (ICT and physical infrastructure), pedagogy and skill delivery methods. Also, focuses on learners' needs for developing an advanced curriculum framework based on best industry practices.
