Need for Employability linked outcomes

  1. To improve skills among youth as only 5% are formally trained
  2. Improve chances of getting employment
  3. Ensure long term benefit of scheme instead of short term employment
  4. Increase the capability of youth being interned
  5. Provide industry relevant training to bridge vocational education gap
  6. Improve employment participation among youth.

Way Forward

  1. Link scheme to employability outcomes
  2. Mandatory skill development
  3. Provide in-house placement post internship phase
  4. Train for in future skill set eg IR 4.0 skill.
  5. Upskill, reskill and recognise skill should be key to PMIS scheme
