Shame on us......
Explanation:
Last week, India and Japan signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to send 3 lakh Indian workers for on-job training to Japan. Not too far away, two World Bank-backed schemes of Rs 6,655 crore for skill development got the government nod.
Around the same time in Sweden, a delegation led by minister Suresh Prabhu, while soliciting investments, also made a pitch to Swedish honchos to partner in skilling Indian workers. And last month, backed by the government, LinkedIn signed a pact with IL&FS Skills Development Corporation to roll out the first-ever platform to upskill blue-collar Indian workers and help them network and find jobs. Earlier, National Skill Development Council (NSDC) had joined hands with Google to train Indian app developers. Then, Asian Development Bank is helping roll out skill programmes from Himachal Pradesh to Odisha.
Ties are being forged with academic institutions like Australia’s Deakin University and Harvard Business School, US, to monitor and aid NSDC’s skill development programmes. Talks are on with community colleges from the US and Canada to beef up India’s vocational training infrastructure. India is staring at a job crisis. In a country with over 470 million workers, how to create jobs and make Indians employable is the government’s biggest worry. Efforts within the country are on to find some answers.
Equally, an overseas push too is intensifying. PM Narendra Modi’s tenure has been marked by warm diplomatic ties. This warmth has traditionally given a boost to bilateral trade, investment and defence ties. Skilling Indian workers and helping them find jobs just got added to that list.
MoUs and partnerships with countries and companies, universities and trade delegations, have surged. Collaborations with MNCs and their respective industry bodies (say, Business Sweden) are in the works. Avenues to open up global job markets for Indian workers are being explored; example: geriatric caregivers for Japan’s ageing population.
Sweden wants 50,000 fresh women IT graduates from India. Help is coming India’s way from multilateral and bilateral bodies like the World Bank, Japan International Cooperation Agency ( JICA) and the ADB. NRIs too are chipping in, with some wanting to set up skills universities. “Jobs and skilling workers is a tough problem to solve. It cannot be done overnight. But we will do everything we can to solve it,” says Manish Kumar, MD of NSDC.
