SKILL DEVELOPMENT ODISHA

Countries that have succeeded in linking skill development to gains in productivity, employment and development have targeted skill development policy towards three main objectives (i) matching supply to current demand for skills (ii) helping workers and enterprises adjust to change and (iii) building and sustaining competencies for future labour market needs.

India has to achieve the target of skilling upskilling 150 million people by 2022. He further explains skill gap as ‘the phrase skill gap refers to redefining the relationship between education industry and business. In simple terms a skill gap can be defined as the difference between the skills needed for a job versus those skills possessed by a prospective worker.

As compared to other developed and developing countries, India has a unique window of opportunity for another 20-25 years called the “demographic advantage”. If India is able to skill its people with the requisite life skills,job skills or entrepreneurial skills in the years to come the demographic advantage can be converted into the divid end wherein those entering labour market or are already in the labour market contribute productively to economic growth both within and outside the country.

Livelihood opportunities are affected by supply and demand side issues. On the supply side, India is failing to create enoughjob opportunities;and on the demand side, professionals entering the job market are lacking in skill sets.This is resulting in a scenario of rising unemployment rates along with low employability.

Objectives of Training are to conduct various courses and training programmes not only to provide suitable manpower to Hotel Industry to fill in its various posts but also to equip the trainees with adequate practical knowledge of Hospitality Industry so as to enable them to start their own business according their capacity.

Skill development is the focus area of the government policy. It is central to accessing employment in the formal sector and enhancing productivity in the informal economy for reducing poverty and risk of underemployment. The National Policy on Skill Development aims to train about million people afresh and additional reskilled, up-skilled and skilled by 2025.

Skill development is an important driver to address poverty reduction by improving employability, productivity and helping sustainable enterprise development and inclusive growth.

Our Vision to create an ecosystem of empowerment by Skilling on a large Scale at Speed with high Standards so as to ensure Sustainable livelihoods for all citizens and to place India in the comity of front ranking entrepreneurial and innovative nations.

Job creation for skilled youth is also a major challenge before the nation. Entrepreneurship based on innovation has immense growth potential which can also create jobs for our youth. However, the number of local entrepreneurs emerging every year in India is very low.

The social and traditional view that sees status as being inversely proportional to the degree to which one works with one’s hands.One of the major challenges faced in the country today is the public perception that views skilling to be the last resort meant for those who have not been able to progress in the formal academic system.

Nowdays, No country in the world faces a challenge of this proportion. Current annual skilling capacity, including training for the farm sector, in India is estimated at 9 million. This capacity needs to Scale-up with Speed and Standards combined with more job opportunities both nationally and globally. Thus, appropriate infrastructure needs to be created keeping in view the sectoral and geographical demands.

Countries with higher levels and better standards of skills adjust more effectively to the challenges and opportunities in the domestic and international job market Skills and knowledge are the driving forces of economic growth and social development for any country.In India, we have awoken rather late to the skills need and challenge.

This can be partially achieved through focus on advancement of skills that are relevant to the emerging economic environment.

The country presently faces a dual challenge of severe paucity of highly-trained, quality labor, as well as non-employability of large sections of the educated workforce that possess little or no job skills. Ministry for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship has been set up in November 2014 to give fresh impetus to the Skill India agenda and impart employable skills to its growing workforce over the next few decades.

Nowadays,the world and India need a skilled workforce. If we have to promote the development of our country then our mission has to be `skill development’ and `Skilled India’. Millions and Millions of Indian youth should acquire the skills which could contribute towards making India a modern country. I also want to create a pool of young people who are able to create jobs and the ones who are not capable of creating jobs and do not have the opportunities, they must be in a position to face their counterparts in any corner of the world while keeping their heads high by virtue of their hard work and their dexterity of hands and win the hearts of people around the world through their skills.

Electronics and Telecommunication have a bright future.

The constant developments in technology, the electronics technician/engineer needs to be proactive in ensuring that his/her skills and knowledge are up-to-date and meet industry standards and expectations.

Electronics technicians engineers must work with a high degree of accuracy and precision, conforming to detailed specifications and international quality standards and demonstrating extensive technical ability.

Electronic service and maintenance which include a service both in situ and remotely; and monitoring and testing to specifications sub-assemblies or systems and approving fit-for-purpose and simulating outcomes on computers.

The key areas of specialism which can be seen as careers in their own right include the assembly and wiring of electronic products the designing of prototype circuits to specifications; the installation and commissioning of equipment including the provision of customer support.

The electronics industry is very diverse and has evolved into several specialisms. Some technicians/engineers will work across many aspects of electronics, but increasing specialization and technical developments means that specialist technician/engineers are widely employed.

Echo sounding is a type of sonar used to determine the depth of water by transmitting sound pulses into water. The time interval between emission and return of a pulse is recorded, which is used to determine the depth of water along with the speed of sound in water at the time. This information is then typically used for navigation purposes or in order to obtain depths for charting purposes.

An electronic circuit is composed of individual electronic components, such as resistors, transistors, capacitors, inductors and diodes, connected by conductive wires or traces through which electric current can flow.

Time taken to gain the qualification will vary according to the pathway taken and will be kept very flexible for persons with different backgrounds and experience. Duration has been prescribed in hours in the curriculum of individual module, which are based on the content and requirements of a MES Module.

Very few opportunities for skill development are available for the above referred groups (out of school youth & existing workers especially in the informal sector). Most of the existing Skill Development programmes are long term in nature. Poor and less educated persons can not afford long term training programmes due to higher entry qualifications, opportunity cost etc. Therefore, a new frame work for Skill Development for the Informal Sector has been evolved by the DGET to address to the above mentioned problems.

What is a course in Electronics and Telecommunication?” Many of the world’s rising stars in the electronics industry got their start with an insatiable curiosity about telecommunications and the opportunity to take a class.
