Abstract
An integral component of Indias
game changer on vocational
education will be its emphasis on
providing training to workers in
the informal sector. These workers
need to be certified and
brought into the mainstream of
jobs. Little is known about their
proficiency in the skills in which
they are employed. A pilot study
was undertaken with the objective
of assessing the skill gaps
to enable the skill development
agencies to bridge this gap. The
study was carried out in five
trades of Motor Mechanic, Mason,
Plumber, TV repair and Carpenter.
This paper reports the
main findings of the study.
