A. Youth Skill Training and Placement

Unemployment among the educated presents a paradoxical situation. On the one

hand, there is unemployment among the educated rural youth. On the other, there is

critical shortage of certain skills in the market. The situation can be corrected with an

appropriate strategy for bridging the skill gap. Further, there is asymmetry in the job-

market information. The information relating to the opportunities is not always available

to the educated youth. Therefore, the promotion of information on the skills needed and

their suitable restructuring and preparation could go a long way in promoting the

educated employment. With proper orientation and additional training, the skill gap can

be bridged and employment promoted, of the educated. What is needed is the initial

orientation, motivation and mentoring.

The need of the hour is to identify the market opportunities for educated youth and

to undertake suitable re-orientation and training of the youth for appropriate salary and

self-employment. With globalization and fast economic growth the manpower needs of

different sectors have been undergoing changes in the market resulting in critical

shortages. The aim of the Government of Tamil Nadu is „providing young adults from

economically weaker backgrounds an opportunity to assimilate into the competitive job

market‟. The assimilation process calls for „bridging the ever widening divide between

those who have access to opportunities and those who are increasingly being

marginalized from the new jobs by helping the young adults acquire required livelihood

and social skills in an environment of learning and mentoring that is responsive to the

individual‟s emotional and development needs‟.

The State of Tamilnadu is one of the most industrialized states in India. The

favorable investment climate created by the State Government, accompanied by strong

infrastructure and resource base has attracted huge investment by multinational

companies in Tamilnadu. The investment in the field of automobile, construction,

garments, information & communication, service industries etc. have created lot of

employment opportunities for rural youth. Though there is high demand for youth

employment, shortage of skilled labor has deprived the opportunities of millions of rural


youth in State. Realizing the big gap between demand and supply of skilled labor, the

TNSRLM among other things aims at making millions of unskilled and semi skilled

youth into potential skilled youth thereby securing sustainable employment. Though

Youth Skill Training is designed for wage employment, there is a scope for self

employment also.

Tamil Nadu has the unique advantage of having two major Poverty Reduction

Projects namely, Mahalir Thittam by Govt. of Tamilnadu and Pudhu Vaazhvu Project

assisted by the World Bank. Youth Skill training is being implemented successfully for

the last 6 years as a major components of both these projects.

Mahalir Thittam – An Introduction

Mahalir Thittam Project was launched by the Government of Tamil Nadu in 1997- 98. It

is a State supported socio-economic empowerment programme for women

implemented through Self Help Groups (SHG) implemented by Tamil Nadu Corporation

for Development of Women Ltd. For the last 6 years, Youth Skill Training programme is

also being implemented by the Corporation

Pudhu Vaazhvu Project – An introduction

Pudhu Vaazhvu Project is being implemented in 26 districts covering 4170

Panchayats in 120 blocks in Tamilnadu with the financial assistance of the World Bank.

Youth Skill Training is also one of the important component of Project

In the Pudhu Vaazhvu Project the community themselves take all decisions,

implement the decisions and manage their funds according to the principles of equity,

inclusion, transparency and accountability. The Project has special focus on women,

youth, differently abled, tribal and vulnerable population.

The project facilitates identification of the target poor, vulnerable and differently

abled by the community members themselves in a participatory manner. Once these


target poor are identified through this participatory process, Village Poverty Reduction

Committee (VPRC) is constituted in a participatory manner with each habitation

represented by a SHG member from the target population. The list of members and

beneficiaries are all approved in the Grama Sabha.

This VPRC is responsible for planning, implementing, monitoring the project at the

Panchayat level.

covering about 10-15 VPs (2000-2500 target families). Project Facilitation Team (PFT)

is headed by the Team Leader who is supported by 5 Facilitators in various fields.

Facilitator (Livelihoods) is exclusively meant for youth skill training activities.


Panchayat level:

At the Panchayat level, Village Poverty Reduction Committee (VPRC) plays the following major roles:

Creating awareness on the importance of youth skill training among target youth and parents.

Preparation of Youth Data Base covering all the target households based on the need of the individual.

Identification of two Community Professional (Jobs) for motivating and mobilising youth for training.

Selection of suitable youth for training and ensuring retention during training & employment.

Maintenance of skill training records and accounts.

Youth covered and yet to be covered

The Youth Data Base under PVP has identified 2.75 lakh youth in 2509 Viilage

Panchayats in 70 blocks who were interested to undergo various trainings. But so far

1.75 youth have been assisted by PVP leaving another 1.00 lakh youth unassisted.

Further, every year nearly 30,000 youth are added newly as they attain the age of 18

years. At the same time, there is no fund at the VPRC level to send youth any more for

skill training programme.

Constraints in Youth Skill Training:

Though, lot of opportunities are available in the State for training & placement in one

hand and availability of large no. youth in Panchayats on the other hand, several

problems are faced skill training. Some of them are given below:

Lack of information to community especially to youth and parents on various

potential trades


Lack of information on reputed skill training institutions & opportunity for direct

employment in MNCs / companies

Lack of interest among the youth and parents

Mobilising poor youth for training

Duplication of Govt. programmes by various departments

Drop outs during training / placement

Lack of interest for out station training or employment

Not Adjusting to change of environment (urban)

Prevalence of low salary in the market

Arranging accommodation for out station training / placement

Shortage of fund at Panchayat level

Best Practices in PVP & Mathi:

1. Twin approaches followed by the Project:

Based on the skill sets of the youth, following two strategies are followed either to

impart training and facilitating placement or arranging direct placement with

companies:

A Employable Skill Trainings In which, trainings are organized through reputed industries / institutions and employment arranged.

B District Job Fairs In which direct employment is created to rural

youth by linking the youth with major companies

at the district level. In this approach, the Projects

acts as an Employment Generation Bridge

between the unemployed youth and companies.


2. Sensitizing the members of CBOs

Importance of youth skill training is oriented to the members of VPRC, PLF, CPLTC,

SAC, Youth Sub Committee so as to make them to realize and communicate the same

to youth of target households.

3. Organizing youth festivals in Villages

Youth festivals are conducted in all the Panchayats during Pongal festival. Several

sports and games are organized to attract youth at a common place. This opportunity is

used to orient them on the importance of skill training and placement. Experiences of

successfully employed youth through the Project are also shared among the mobilized

youth.

4. Preparation of Youth Data Base

In each Panchayat youth from target families are identified and basic data like name,

address, age, sex, educational qualification, religion, community, present employment

are collected by the VPRCs. Individual Need Assessment also is done to assess the

trade of interest of the youth. Based on the data base, youth are mobilized and sent for

training / direct employment to the companies. Youth data base helps VPRCs to identify

suitable youth immediately based on the requirement of the companies like age, sex,

qualification, etc either for training or direct employment.

5. Formation of Youth Forum

Youth forum is formed in each Panchayat with the youth representation from all the

habitations. Youth forum consists of both male and female in the age group of 18-35

years who have interest in social activities, communication skills, convincing capacity to

mobilize youth for training and employment. In each Panchayat there are about 10-15

youth depending on size of the Panchayat. They are oriented on youth skill training and

encouraged to mobilize youth for training.

6. Identification and sensitization of CP (jobs)

Two Community Professionals (Jobs) in each Panchayat are identified and oriented on

mobilizing and counseling in skill training. They are also given honorarium of Rs.50 or

Rs.100 per youth by the VPRC if they send youth for training / employment.


7. Preparation & distribution of IEC Materials

Materials like handouts, booklets, banners, posters indicating eligibility criteria for each

trade and promotional opportunities etc are prepared and used for creating awareness

on various skill training opportunities available for the youth

8. Screening of short video film in villages

Short video films on various trainings and employment opportunities available in driving,

masonry, electrical, plumbing, nursing, garments making etc are prepared and screened

in Panchayats so as to create awareness among the youth. The experiences of local

youth who have completed training and got placement are also video graphed and

screened in Panchayats which motivates youth for training and placement.

9. Organising exposure visits to Youth & Parents

Seeing is believing. So, youth, parents, members of CBOs are taken to nearby training

institutes or companies so that they understand the facilities available for youth like

class room, instruments, tools, accommodation, toilet and health facilities etc. They

also interact with other youth who are already under going training / working in the

company.

10. Display of details of employed candidates in flex banners

Displaying the details of youth who are successfully completed training and employed

from a particular Panchayat creates good impact on youth and parents on the

importance of skill training.

11. Formation of Career Counseling Cell

Career Counseling cell in each Panchayat headed by a retired Head Master / Teacher

with the two community professionals (Jobs) is formed. This Cell guides youth on

various higher education or training and employment opportunities available for poor

youth besides availability of bank loan, etc.


12. Counseling of Youth and Parents before training / employment

Once the youth are selected for training or direct employment, they are given proper

counseling about the nature of training / jobs, duration, accommodation, food, safety,

etc. which helps in reducing drop outs in a big way. Youth and parents are counseled

before leaving the Panchayat for training / employment.

13. Counseling team in training institutes / companies

It is equally important to form a counseling team in the training centres / companies with

the help of representatives from HR Managers and youth who are working for one or

two years. This initiate makes the new entrants comfortable and reduce home sick

which is the main reason for drop out.

14. Market Scanning of skill demand

Sector wise assessment of employment potential i.e Construction, Textiles, Health,

Plastic, Hospitality, Automobile, Handicrafts, Agriculture and IT enabled Industries etc

are done with the help of major Industries association like CODISSIA, MADISSIA, EPF,

DIC etc. This exercise helps in assisting youth for selecting suitable trades based on his

educational qualification and trade of interest.

15. Strategy for Differentially abled, Tribal and Vulnerable

Following specific strategies are adopted for the youth belong to special group.

Organizing separate job fairs at local level

Identifying their potential and improving their capacity

Need based training and placement at local level

Cell phone servicing, IT trainings, Garments making, Gardening, Housekeeping,

Hospitality Management, etc

16. Help desk:

In order to ensure quality of training and timely release of course fee to the training

institutes and release of stipend, supply of course materials, certificates, tolls and

equipment for practical training to the trainees etc, Help Desk approach is followed in all


the training centres. Under this approach, contact name & phone no. of District level /

State level officers are displayed at a prominent place in all the training institutes. In

case of any problem, the trainees / institutions can contact the concerned officials.

17. Skill Voucher Concept:

The concept of Skill Vouchers is introduced recently to ensure that each youth selected

by screening process can select training institute / trade based on his eligibility and

interest of trade. The skill voucher approach provides the following benefits.

1. Trainings are offered only through reputed institutions in the state for various high

end courses for youth from poor and BPL families.

2. Youth are trained and employed in the growing economy and not just train them.

3. Quality assurance is done through assessment post training through NCVT

approved agencies.

4. It gives the freedom of choice to the end user thereby decreasing the chance of

malpractice.

5. It reduces the cost per candidate substantially thereby making it possible to

increase the targets in the same budget.

6. This also helps in the government‟s effort to bring all the training institutes on one

platform so that they can be ranked on an objective criterion.

7. Normally the government funding is available to either government owned

institute or government empanelled institutes. It has an inherent drawback that by

this method the diversity of courses is restricted.

8. The challenge in front of the nation is to increase quantity without compromising

on quality or diversity of the courses. For this practically no method other than

“Skill voucher” can actually work.

9. By skill voucher scheme, it is ensured that each and every candidate at least

gets a NCVT or DGET / SCVT certificate thereby improving the quality of

trainings.


18. Monitoring mechanism:

The Social Audit Committee (SAC) of the Panchayat level Federation monitors the skill

training activities. In case of any violation, SAC can take up the matter with Village

Assembly / Grama Sabha. VPRC / PLF submits monthly progress report to District Unit.

19. Annual Plan under TNSRLM for Youth Skill Training activities: 2012-13

Though both Mathi and PVP have done quite remarkable work in the field of Youth Skill

Training activities, considering the industrial development and lot of opportunities

available for training and employment in the State, there is urgent need for improving

the quantity and quality of training in the State.

19.1. Setting up of State Resource Cell: (Tamilnadu Employment Generation

Mission (TEGEM)):

The rural Population of Tamilnadu is 37.19 million as per 2011 census (Provisional),

which works out to about 82.6 lakh Households. Assuming that 45% of HHs fall under

very poor and poor category, the target HHs for TNSRLM will be around 33 lakh

Households. Based on the experiences of Youth Skill Training in the State, about 40%

of the target HHs will have eligible youth for skill training which accounts for 13,20,000

youth who need to be trained in next 5 years at the rate of 2.64 lakh youth per annum.

At present, the Mathi and Pudhu Vaazhvu Projects have jointly trained about 2.5 lakh

youth and assisted for placement during the last 7 years at the rate of 35,000 per annum.

Considering the overall development of the State, Foreign and Domestic investments

and employment opportunities available in various sectors, there is scope for training at

least 2 lakh youth per annum.

However, considering the availability of good quality of suitable skill training institutions,

difficulty in mobilizing youth from very poor and poor households, it is proposed to train

62,000 youth during 2012-13 @ 75% in intensive and remaining 25% in non-intensive

areas.


Further, there is also need for making uniformity in procedure for selection of institutions,

trades, duration, course fee, certification, placement, etc in one hand and uniformity in

preparation of Youth Data Base, selection and counseling of youth, etc on the other

hand.

For achieving this huge mandate, there is need for setting up a separate State

Resource Cell for taking care of youth skill training activities in the State under

TNSRLM. The Cell will adopt all the best practices of both PVP and Mathi and try to

improve upon further.

Structure of State Resource Cell:

The Cell will function as an extended arm of TNSRLM under the direct control of CEO,

TNSRLM. At the State level, there will be one State Programme Manager and one Project

Executive under TNSRLM. Apart from this, it is proposed to recruit two Senior Project

Managers, one MIS Specialist and three Data Entry Operators through out sourcing. Their

salary and allowances will be met from this Fund.

The CEO will be assisted by a team of professionals as indicated below:

Objectives of State Resource Cell:

Based on the past experiences, the followings are the objectives of the Cell.

To develop vision and strategy for employment generation and to prepare a

time bound action plan for implementation

To disseminate information to rural youth on employment opportunities

available and eligibility criteria for the same.

To suggest measures to derive synergy of plans and programmes of

various Govt and Non Govt departments working for employment generation.

To advise on institutional and organizational mechanism for effective

implementation of action plans for generation of employment.

To create favourable climate for linkage with industries in such a way that

the district team develops direct contact with industrial houses.

To identify and build capacity of the unemployed and under employed

youth both of male & female to acquire sustainable self employment or wage

employment.

To meet the increasing demand of skilled workers in industries / companies

in the fast growing industrial development

To ensure quality of training, certification and to provide handholding

support for the trainees during training and employment

To prepare Annual Action Plan at the State level and monitoring the same at

the District level.

To document best practices of skill training activities and dissemination of the

same

To develop and update data base at the state level

State Resource Cell/TEGEM will identify the skill training combined with

employability has much better scope to bring the poor households out of the poverty.

Since the trainees are being provided with employment, the impact is immediate and

will show better results compared to other activities, which requires time and also

constant monitoring and hand holding support.


19.2. Structure of District Resource Cell:

District Resource Cell will function under the guidance of District Project Director and

Additional Project Director with the assistance of the following staff.

At the district level, there will be one Assistant Project Manager or Assist Project Officer

to assist Project Director or Additional Project Director. In addition to this, it is proposed

to recruit one Manager, one Computer Operator Cum Assistant for each district. Their

salary and allowances will be met from this fund.

plan on quarterly basis. PLF will maintain separate account for this fund. DMMU will

maintain proper records for the release of fund to PLFs.


PLFs / VPRCs will identify youth and send for training to the institutes already identified

and approved. They can also inspect training institutes for ensuring quality and provide

necessary handholding for the youth.

PLF / VPRC will maintain a separate Skill Training Register with details of trainees,

trades, duration, course fee, placement details, etc. PLF will send monthly progress

report to district unit.

19.10. Key performance indicators

30,000 eligible target youth will receive skills enhancements and 80% of them will

be linked to employment or self employment.

Minimum monthly starting salary of Rs.4000/-

20. B. Entrepreneurship Development Training (EDT)

Entrepreneurship Development Training (EDT) is envisaged to bring out the latent

entrepreneurial talents in the SHG women. Enterprise Development training helps

individual and group entrepreneurs to enhance their business capabilities. Majority of

the SHGs undertake economic activities as a group activity which provides them self –

employment and supplemental income. Hence, EDT will be given to SHG members who

are interested in taking up economic activities. It is proposed to train 5000 women every

year at an average cost of Rs.5,000/- per women under Enterprise Development

Training Programme for individual self employment or for group activities. The actual

cost of the training will vary depending on the trade selected and the duration of the

training. Even though EDT is designed for self employment, there is a possibility for

wage employment also.


20.1. Objective:

The objectives of the Enterprise Development Training for the SHG women are

To start individual self employment or group activities.

To improve the income of the poor women through up- gradation of

vocational and managerial skills and creation of opportunities for self

employment, wage employment and group activities.

To provide special thrust to women in the age group above 35 years.

20.2. Selection of institution:

The institutions selected for youth skill training alone could be selected for

providing training for women under this programme.

The institutions selected for providing training should be preferably in the

same District.

The skill training includes a capsule of five days EDP training. The skill

training in the intensive course must follow EDP training.

The minimum duration of the training shall be at least one month.

The institution must have qualified faculty to give EDP training and skill

training. If it does not have qualified faculty, it should out source good

faculty to conduct the five days EDP training and then start the skill

training in the selected activity.

The training institution should be a reputed / recognized institution offering

job – oriented skills training. The institution may be a manufacturing unit or

academic institution or specialized training institute with all facilities and

faculty required for professionally running the course being offered in the

institution.

The training should also have experts and faculty to offer support and

guidance on production and process standards and certification in house

for the intensive skill – training course.


The institutions should have facilities and faculty who can handle the

aspects of management of the economic activity like procurement of raw

materials, machinery, value addition, packaging, labeling pricing,

standards, certification etc.,

The details of courses offered, syllabus, attendance and other training

related information should be available with the institution.

20.3. Selection of candidates for EDT:

Selection of the women for each course should be explained clearly to the

VPRCs. The VPRCs can facilitate the selection of candidates exactly for

each course.

Women in the age group of 18-60 years are eligible for this training.

Preference will be given for the women, who are above 35 years.
