As ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’ envisions a completely developed nation by the 100th year of India’s independence, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) aims to foster a dynamic workforce in an ever-evolving economy. To cater to this, the Ministry has laid out a roadmap where trainers from short-term and long-term skilling ecosystems will be equipped with the right skills and technology to help learners participate in the future market.
The MSDE’s partner, Future Right Skills Network (FRSN), has developed a “Trainer Development Strategy for the Skilling Ecosystem,” recommending the integration of digital blended content into classroom learning. The strategy facilitated by Quest Alliance and supported by FRSN, collaboration between Accenture, Cisco, J.P. Morgan, and SAP.
The initiative aims to improve the quality and effectiveness of nationwide trainers across sectors for long-term skilling, enhancing the overall skilling process. The strategies proposed aim to address staffing and training capacity gaps, shortage of qualified trainers in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector, and reduce attrition due to irregular employment, limited career advancement opportunities, and low-pay. Shri Atul Kumar Tiwari, Secretary, Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship said, “I firmly believe efforts such as these will consolidate on the good work that the Ministry is doing and will strengthen the ecosystem further.”
