Today’s age of globalisation and technological volatility, skill building is an important instrument to increase the efficacy and quality of labour for improved productivity and economic growth.
Skills and knowledge development are the driving forces behind the financial growth and community development of any country. Skill building is a powerful tool to empower individuals and improve their social acceptance. It must be complemented by economic growth and an employment opportunity to meet the rising aspirations of youth.The challenge lies not only in a huge quantitative expansion of facilities for skill training, but also in raising their quality. India can then become the global sourcing hub for skilled employees.
Today, the world and India need a skilled workforce. We have to promote the development of our country then our mission has to be `skill development’ and `Skilled India’. Millions and Millions of Indian youth should acquire the skills which could contribute towards making India a modern country. Achange create a pool of young people who are able to create jobs and the ones who are not capable of creating jobs and do not have the opportunities, they must be in a position to face their counterparts in any corner of the world while keeping their heads high by virtue of their hard work and their dexterity of hands and win the hearts of people around the world through their skills. Achange goes for the capacity building of such young people
. Achange will promote lifelong learning, maintaining quality and relevance, according to changing requirement particularly of emerging knowledge economy.It will channelize the vast potential of indigenous man power. Will transform India into a diversified and internationally-competitive economy.
We need to focus on the skill development of the youth as it is one of the essential elements of India’s future economic growth. It will play a defining element in India’s growth story. As aptly quoted by Nelson Mandela -“The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow”.
Technological
advance has accelerated at an unprecedented pace; accordingly, the development
of skills through training should be the strategic response to technological
change, globalization and other forces affecting labor markets.
The new generation of technology, especially information and communications
technologies and certain manufacturing processes has likely effect on
productivity and on the demand for workers with higher-level skills and broader
workplace competencies, who can command higher wages.
The introduction of new technologies has reduced the demand for unskilled labor
and raised the value of advanced skills and competencies in the industrialized
economies.
In the services sector technological change has created new categories of high-skilled
occupations in health care, information processing, and finance and business
services; in the goods-producing sector too, the emphasis is now less on
physical strength and adherence to routine and more on workers’ behavior,
flexibility and initiative.
