Die Regierung startet in Neu-Delhi mit einem neuen Ausbildungsprogramm zur Stärkung der Jugend. Insbesondere Jugendliche, die keine Zulassung zur Hochschule bekommen, sollen davon profitieren.
Delhi govt relaunches apprenticeship scheme for youth after a decade
Relaunching the scheme, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said of the
2.5 lakh students who pass the class XII school exams every year in Delhi,
nearly 1.25 lakh of them do not get admission in colleges, therefore
apprenticeship will benefit them.
Delhi Government on Wednesday
relaunched the Apprenticeship Training scheme for the empowerment of youth of
Delhi. Relaunching the scheme, Deputy Chief Minister (CM) Manish Sisodia said of
the 2.5 lakh students who pass the class XII school exams every year in
Delhi, nearly 1.25 lakh of them do not get admission in colleges,
therefore apprenticeship will benefit them.
He said in fact the
government would want even those who are taking admission in colleges should
also enroll for apprenticeship, since it will increase their employment
avenues.
Sisodia also asked the stakeholders to do further research on
what exactly are the requirements of the youth of Delhi, instead of imposing the
national model on them.
The Deputy CM said he would like to introduce
the Vocational Training in all 1000 schools of Delhi Government schools so that
vocational training can be mainstreamed. He cautioned against turning vocational
training into a ritual.
Jayant Krishna, CEO
of the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), applauded the
Delhi government's initiative and said that revised Apprenticeship Act is a
great reform which has happened after 50 years. He exhorted the industry to take
advantage of the changes in the Apprenticeship Act and employ large number of
apprentices at their work places. He also said that India employs only
5 per cent of its workforce as apprentices while the same number is 50 in
China and 90 per cent in Korea and Germany.
Ashish Khetan, Delhi
Dialogue Commission vice-chairman, stressed on the need to equip the youth with
skills of the industry.
Secretary Education Punya Salila Srivastava said
she is happy to relaunch the Apprenticeship scheme that was stopped in the year
2005. She said that more than 400 students have already enrolled in the scheme
from Delhi and a big awareness scheme is being launched to attract the students
to the Apprenticeship scheme.
