New Delhi : The scheme was designed as a skill certification and reward scheme with an aim to enable and mobilize large number of Indian youth to take up skill training and become employable for sustainable livelihood. To keep the trainings imparted in the scheme-market relevant, a total of 252 job roles were taken up for implementation in the first two years of PMKVY 2016-20. After two years of scheme implementation, around 15.4 Lakhs candidates have been certified with around 5.8 lakh reported placements under the short-term training component of the scheme. These trainings have been imparted in 198 job roles out of the 252 job roles applicable to the scheme.
Looking at the changing needs of the skills required in the market and the performance of the previously existing job roles, it was decided to analyse the existing list as well to include any new job roles as per market demand and to exclude those where the placements have not been up to the mark. The new list also includes job roles which are NAPS scheme (Apprenticeship Model) enabled (Embedded or Paired) for better exposure to the candidates and increased absorption with hands-on experience in Industry.
Apprenticeship Training is a course of training in any industry or establishment. It consists of Block I of basic training and Block II of hands-on training at employer’s workplace.
• Block I: This is a training block done in the Instructor-Led training approach, with theory and practical sessions. The training sessions may be held at training provider’s premises.
• Block II: This is a training block done at the Employer location. This is largely hands-on with inputs/ guidance provided by the on-site mentors and supervisors. The employer may conduct instructor-led sessions in classrooms/ workshops and may also look at new age – technology-based performance support tools for additional support.
Apprenticeship can be undertaken in QP-aligned courses.
Sector Skills Councils (SSC) under the Ministry of Skills Development and Entrepreneurship are industry-led bodies that have created Optional Trade apprenticeship curriculum after interfacing with industry for QP-based apprenticeship courses.
Following options have been created by SSCs for executing QP-based apprenticeship. There are two options for QP-based apprenticeship courses:
• Paired Curriculum: In the Paired mode the candidate progresses from QP1 to QP2 across NSQF levels (vertically) or in the same NSQF level (horizontally). QP1 is covered in Basic Training (Block 1), which is conducted using a combination of classroom and practical training. It closes with an assessment at the end of QP1. Block 2 is based on QP2, conducted primarily through hands-on training as an apprentice with an organization, as per NAPS guidelines. Block 2 closes with an assessment on QP2. Block 1 QPs chosen will run as PMKVY STT with an optional pathway available that may enable a candidate to pick QP2 as Block 2 in industry-based trainings under NAPS.
• Embedded Curriculum: Certain individual QPs can yield better employment opportunities if conducted in a mandatory embedded apprenticeship mode. The individual QP is covered in Basic Training (Block 1), which is conducted using a combination of classroom and practical training. Block 2 is based again on the same QP, conducted primarily through hands-on training as an apprentice with an organization, as per NAPS guidelines. Assessment will be conducted on the QP by the SSC at the end of Block I and Block II. QPs taken under Embedded curriculum of NAPS may not be allowed to run in only short-term training mode. However, to facilitate states, this will be allowed in state component for a period of six months, post which the training provider should move to an apprenticeship-based model for these job roles.
