This is the biggest myth of all. First of all, most people simply can no longer afford to stop working.

The so called agencies has put their slogens only in their printed guidelines and handouts without taking into the account the real target populace. In this age of liberalisation india is still away to train the people in different specialisations. vocational training is to impart specialised skills and knowledge, and instilling social and political attitudes and behaviour patterns essential for successful economic activities by people engaged in dependent employment, self-employment or subsistence work.Vocational training can be of various types depending on the way it has been acquired. 'Formal training' refers to all training courses held in state or private (but state-certified) institutions and regulated by state guidelines. 'Non-formal training' covers all forms of training which takes place without being subject to state guidelines. In-company apprenticeships, both in formal or informal sector enterprises, is one of the most common forms of non-formal training. This kind of training also includes all programmes and projects offering skills-upgrading for those already active on the labour market, but who wish to extend their competencies by attending evening or weekend courses. There are no prerequisites for anyone to acquire vocational training. Both men and women can get trained at any time during their life. Studies have already proven that formal education is not a prerequisite for acquiring practical skills for income-generation, especially in the context of the informal sector. However, India's formal vocational training system often creates minimum educational prerequisites leading to exclusion of those with lower levels of education. << previous page 1 2 3 next page>> |
