Determinants of Job Opportunities in Skill Development Institutions: Indian Perspective

Abstract

In a fast-growing economy like India and having a comparatively young population, education, especially skill-based education, plays an important role. In the last two decades’ emphasis has been placed on this through education policy interventions at all levels of governance. Despite this, the impact is not sufficient. There is a need for the industry to associate with skill development institutions for need-based effective management programmes. This paper attempts to study the students’ perceptions of the skill development programmes and their efficiency in providing better job opportunities. The study shows a significant role of trainers, industry connections and institutes infrastructure in giving better jobs opportunities to the trainees of skill development institutes.
