OPERATIONAL PRACTICES ADOPTED:

Designing of training programmes

Demand-led Training; skills taught as determined by existing or recognizable potential opportunities in the market (i.e.) Identification of employment opportunities prior to conducting training was an important step followed in training programmes.
Skills to be imparted, pre-focused at wage employment, self-employment, depending on the training programme objectives, because each requires a different approach.
Rural skills training for grass root level target group are carried on-site.
For those already working, training was focused on skill enhancement (i.e.) up gradation of existing skills, so that they could increase their income.
A well-developed networking and association with potential employers as Industries & Enterprises / Associations, etc. who pose their demand for manpower requirement in their specific domain of work.
Association with support institutions who provide their infrastructure & expertise for training where we do not have its reach.

Organization and delivery of training –Approach

Training programmes are given attention to characteristics of the target group, time & work constraints of the trainees and adapt a client friendly delivery in terms of course duration, location (close proximity to the trainees) and flexi-timing schedule.
Awareness raising is one of the primary activities in programmes specifically designed for the grass-root for which aggressive effort are made to introduce the benefits and importance of the schemes and programmes to the target group.
Selection of trainees is done by taking into consideration the trainee’s interest for acquiring a particular skill or multi-skilling and the desired future use of the skills; consequences of dropping out of the course in these cases is almost nil.
The training content covers just 10 to 25 per cent of the time to theory; focus is on the most effective method of imparting training - the practical hands-on approach. Other methods adopted are, demonstrations, repetition and trial and error, and on-job-training (OJT) for live-environment experience in institutions, enterprises and with private agencies.
Training curricula is practical, ideally in local languages and, to the extent possible, suitable for illiterate trainees wherever the literacy level of trainee mattered (ie), included more visual presentations / pictures.
To enhance the relevance of skills training programmes, trainees are provided additional inputs on life skills, spoken English & Communication skills.

Gender aspects:

Conscious effort to include girls and young women in training programmes, to at least 30%.
Support facilities and measures including hostel, transport facilities to encourage participation of this gender, in the training.

Public and private employers are being encouraged to employ increased number of female apprentices.
