Kerala Govt. to provide skill development training under ‘One family, One job’ Scheme

Thiruvananthapuram : Nearly 5,000 tribal youths will be given skill training in the first phase of a programme taken up as part of the ‘One family, One job’ Scheme proposal announced in the budget.

The Scheduled Tribe Development Department is implementing the programme in a phased manner. In the first phase, tribal youth in five districts – Kozhikode, Palakkad, Kannur, Wayanad, and Malappuram – who have passed class 10 will be given training and placement.

The department is creating a database of unemployed youth on the basis of the socio-economic survey underway there. It estimates that there are nearly 5,000 tribal youth in the 18-44 age group who are unemployed.

The training areas have been identified on the basis of various factors. These include sectors suggested by the youth during career guidance sessions held in three districts. Job placement possibility and skill gap analysis have also been kept in mind.

The identified areas include hotel management, computer hardware assistant, geriatric assistant, dialysis technician, apparel training, tourist guide, auto repair, hospitality assistant and so on. These include areas where there is possibility of placements abroad or outside the State, as in the case of fitter or pipe fabricator.

Though the target persons have passed class 10, training in carpentry, masonry, plumbing, painting and so on will be given to those who are yet to pass class 10 and plan to pursue vocational courses ahead.

Establishments recognised by the Kerala Academy for Skills Excellence, National Skills Qualifications Framework, National Skill Development Corporation, and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana will provide the training and ensure placements. The Scheduled Tribes Development Department will fund the training programme.

Under the scheme, placements for the tribal youth through the Public Service Commission and employment exchanges are also being targeted by the department.
