Description of the Scheme
Introduction of multiskilling
courses (BBBT- Broad Based Basic Training ) of one
year duration for acquisition of generic skills applicable to number
of occupations within a given field;
Followed by Advanced/specialized modular courses for
specialized training for initial employment including self
employment by adopting industry wise cluster approach, multi entry
and multi exit provisions;
and Public-Private-Partnership in the form of Institue
Managament Committees (IMCs) to ensure greater & active
involvement of industry in all aspects of training. Trainees of 2nd
year would have option to select any employable advanced modules of
their choice.
Experience world wide has shown that Institution based training
administered by Govt. have not been very effective in meeting the Labour Market requirements. The costs are very high and external
efficiency is rather low. So greater role of users i.e. Industry is
being encouraged and therefore Industry has been involved in Centres
of Excellence scheme through IMCs (Public Private Partnership
model). Provisions have been made to make the Institution based
training accountable to users. Further, it is sought to be
implemented with on-job-training in the Industry.
In India, where dominance of the Govt. in the planning and
implementation of Vocational Training Programs is overwhelming, a
shift of responsibility in terms of financing and management of
Vocational Training from Govt. to employers has been envisaged. So
far inputs from Industry into ITIs were merely of advisory nature,
which were not very effective. Advisory inputs need to be replaced
with managerial inputs. The autonomy of training
authority, decentralization and accountability to users (i.e.
Industry) is essential. To have effective decentralization, autonomy
and to make training accountable to users, IMCs and Societies have
been constituted.
