The Government of India (Gol) introduced its National Policy for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship in 2015. A policy implementation framework is provided by the National Skill Development Mission (NSDM). The mission reflects the Government’s commitment to skilling opportunities for economically disadvantaged/underserved communities and developing a globally competitive workforce. The mission also seeks to shift toward outcome-focused training provision and establishes and enforces cross-sectoral, nationally and internationally acceptable standards for skill training by creating a sound quality assurance framework. The national Skills Strengthening for Industrial Value Enhancement (STRIVE) project has been developed by the Gol with World Bank assistance to incentivize the critical institutional reforms required in the institutional training systems– defined as the Industrial Training Institute (ITI) and apprenticeship-to meet the Gol’s commitment to provide skilling opportunities for economically disadvantaged / underserved communities and developing a’ globally competitive workforce. The key objective of STRIVE is to improve the quality and market relevance of vocational training provided through ITIs and apprenticeship.
The Program for Results (PforR) instrument is particularly suited to achieve the Gol’s results based objectives, as it allows for improvement of the systems and institutions that are critical to the implementation of the Gol project. The instrument will ensure a sharp focus on the most important results the Gol wants to achieve that is, improve relevance and efficiency of vocational training), allow for flexibility in the end use of funds by states and training institutions, support the development of state-level capacities to manage ITIS more effectively, incentivize introduction of performance-based management principles, and strengthen output and outcome monitoring,
STRIVE is divided into four results areas:
a) Improved Performance of Industrial Training Institutes
b) Increased Capacities of State Governments to Support Industrial Training Institutes and Apprenticeship Training
c) Improved Teaching and Learning
d) Improved and Broadened Apprenticeship Training
The major activities under STRIVE includes:
1) Performance-based grants for upgradation of selected ITIS
2) Performance-based funding to state governments to incentivize reforms in state management of ITIs and apprenticeship training
3) Overhauling curricula and TL resources in selected key Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) programs
4) Enhancing distance and blended learning in pre-employment and in-service teachers training
5) Incentivizing SME participation in modern apprenticeship training through grant funding of industry apprenticeship initiatives (IAls)
6) System development, capacity development, and advocacy for apprenticeship training.
A State Steering Committee (SSC) has been formed to guide the implementation of project in the State. A State Project Implementation Unit (SPIU) has been formed, to assist the SSC for the implementation of the project. At the state level, State Project Implementation Unit (SPIU) is responsible for providing fiduciary guidance, implementation, monitoring, and facilitation of STRIVE.

Specific information regarding the assignment The SPIU, from a portion of its Result Area 2 funding, intends to hire/engage a firm/agency/organization to carry out a tracer study of trainees graduated from all ITIs in the state (both project and non-project). There are 11,000+ private and 3000+ public ITls in
India. Out of which Rajasthan has 1711 Pvt. and 229 Public ITls. The SPIU wishes to hire the services of a consultant to carry out a tracer study of trainees from the project and non- project ITIs as per scope of work.
Objective of the Assignment
The objective of this consulting assignment is to carry out a tracer study of trainees from project and non-project ITls in the state to understand their career progression in the labor market and delivering report(s) with quality data analysis and inferences according to the expectations and protocols, and within a timeframe defined by the SPIU. The overall objective is to evaluate the impact of STRIVE intervention(s) on the beneficiaries and the training relevance to job markets / livelihood activities, and to assess the employment status (wage or self or higher studies or apprenticeship) of the beneficiaries.
The Tracer Study shall try to explain the causes of employment outcomes (professional success) and shall provide a feedback for improvements in various areas of training and placement at ITIs. The purpose of tracer study is to explore changes for trainees in their professional career after graduation from ITI and whether the interventions planned under STRIVE influenced these changes. The information from tracer studies can help to document and understand the longer-term impacts for former beneficiaries and what services or type of interventions work better in the long run. Knowing what seems to work better and in what circumstances is valuable in any future programme planning, policy advice and decision making. A standardized questionnaire will be the research instrument to be used by all TVET institutions in order to
allow comparability of the findings. Adaptations to institutional and sectoral specifics shall be made as required. The questionnaire should comprise the questions presented to all graduates from TVET institutions (core questionnaire), field-specific questions, Trade specific and institution-specific questions. The information will be collected through a questionnaire with a dominance of “closed questions“ (categories for response provided).
This is the most preferable option of collecting information from a large number of graduates, while interviews could be undertaken at most for small samples of graduates, if needed to meet the required sample size.
To do a tracer study for Rajasthan, state government through RSLDC is inviting proposals.Â
