Assessment Findings

Generic Issues- Briefing of participating candidates and trainers about the benefits of the STAR Scheme could have been more coherent. Benefits about the monetary rewards and training on National Occupational standards and its benefits were not shared clearly with the candidates. This lead to ambiguity amongst students and trainers.

Assessor Related Issues - Most assessors were not trained and certified by the Sector Skill Councils. Assessors were not briefed about the STAR scheme and its benefits. The process of assessment amongst most assessors was not clearly communicated by the SSCs.

Technology Issues - In smaller regions and in hard sectors like Agriculture and Leather, the candidates were not digitally literate. This posed as a challenge where the assessment were captured using a tablet/technology. In some cases where the tablets/technology was linked to the internet, the speed of the internet slowed the process of assessments.

Language Issues- In some cases the assessment exams were only in English and not in the local language. This posed as a challenge where the job role does not require fluency in English.

Mr. Tharoor addressing during the event on 30 October 2013 in New Delhi

Highlighting the importance of the reports, Mr. Shashi Tharoor, Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Government of India said, “India is at the cusp of a great opportunity and is entering an era of becoming the workhorse for the world. Reports like these are the first steps towards creating an understanding for the skills and behaviours required for the IT-BPM industry. The Government of India has set a target of skilling 500 million people by 2022; to be able to deliver this target, a structured approach involving all stakeholders is imperative. This is a starting point in the direction of imparting skills for the relevant jobs. These reports give us a clear understanding of the opportunities of the industry.”

As per the National Skills Mission, 150 million professionals would need to be skilled by various Sector Skills Councils by 2022 to make them employable. The Indian IT–BPM Industry currently employs about 3 million people directly and about 9 million indirectly. While the Industry has the potential to provide 30 million employment opportunities by 2020, training individuals on courses that are well aligned to OS can lead upto – 50-60% increase in employability. The objective is to standardize and streamline the process, both for hiring as well as training and to facilitate the 'job readiness' scenario.

Highlighting the facets of the Occupational Analysis Mr. Som Mittal, President, NASSCOM, said “The Occupational Analysis reports will encompass aspects of talent acquisition and transformation that will be positively impacted by standardization and globalization. These standards offer all stakeholders related to this industry, the clarity regarding the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary. The reports provide easily accessible standards and helps individuals and firms understand the requirements of a particular occupation.”

James Raphael, Chief Operating Officer, Retailers Association's Skill Council of India (RASCI) said “It is a very commendable feat as this is the first RASCI batch in India to have a 100% passing result. Congratulations to all members who have enabled this – you have made history. We hope there will be many more batches with this kind of result, however this batch will always remain the first to have achieved it!”

Coming to core training we follow a routine and we try to stick to it as far as possible. We train students six days a week, four hours per day in order to achieve the results we want. Imparting training is an art, because as a trainer it is important to understand the psychology of the students, their strengths and their weaknesses and it is his duty to work on it. The Assessment conducted by the Retail Sector Skill Council was oriented practically and it tested the knowledge of the students thoroughly. In the long run the trainees will not only get the exposure required to work for a particular industry but also to hang on to it. Because sticking to a job is as important as getting a job.

All in all, NSDC has created an ecosystem where all the resources can be used to the best of our abilities.
