What is the solution?
It is however pertinent to note that with the launch of the Make-in-India initiative, vocational education has been pushed to the forefront. The government has been trying hard to push these courses but have failed to find takers for them. Bringing in private firms to engage vocational education as a part of CSR could be a solution for the government to reach out to people in an attempt to promote vocational education. This could be done by providing private players tax concessions and financial aid.
Students would benefit from these training programs as professionals from the industry would be able to train and mold them according to the global trends. Companies would also be able to hire potential job seekers directly from these programs.
