"Education, Vocational Training and lifelong learning are the central pillars of employability, employment of workers and sustainable entrepreneurship development"
– International Labour Organisation.
To enable employment ready workforce, the youth need to be equipped with the necessary skills and education. The paucity of highly-trained quality labour and non-employability of some sections of the educated workforce are the dual challenges being faced by the Country. The skill development issue in the State is thus pertinent both at the demand and supply level. To meet the demand side challenge, consistent efforts are being made towards expansion of economic activities and creation of large employment opportunities. The supply side, is being managed in our State by the Training Wing of Employment and Training Department by creating the required skilled workforce with prescribed standards. Long term skill training is provided in various engineering and non-engineering courses through the Industrial Training Institutes and Industrial Schools.
