National Workshop on Integrated Skill Development Scheme

Some of the key points which came up during the deliberations are given below:
  • Convergence and evolution with the dynamic skilling ecosystem across sub sectors
  • Pre-counselling and post-counselling of trainees to be of utmost importance
  • Creation of multi-skill units / centres for production and training
  • Soft skills to be a major point of focus in the short run
  • Invitation to states to play a complementary role for successful implementation of the scheme, such as through facilitation of boarding and lodging
  • Standardization of courses, assessment and certification processes
  • Provision of infrastructure support  to training partners
  • Provision of additional funding to difficult areas and state government agencies
  • Tap the potential of self-employment in the sector
  • Aim to create a workforce of trained trainers for ensuring quality standards and effective provision of training to candidates
  • Greater participation from industry partners to be ensured
  • Skill gap studies to be considered while ascertaining state-specific requirements across each sub sector of textiles
This was the first National Workshop on the scheme. The Workshop was very well attended, by various state government representatives, industry partners and other implementing institutions. The Government’s efforts to improve the scheme are continuous; this Workshop has turned out to be a landmark step in this direction.
