In this segment of Nothing But The Truth, host @rajchengappa looks at some of the key steps needed to improve India’s skilling and employment ecosystem. The segment focuses on upgrading Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), filling trainer vacancies and continuously updating courses to match changing industry needs. It also looks at the need to expand beyond traditional manufacturing trades and build skills for the growing service sector. Another key focus is taking skill development local, with district-level plans mapping local industries and employment opportunities. The segment also examines the role of industry in sharing the cost and responsibility of training through better apprenticeship opportunities and simpler compliance for small firms. From fixing ITIs to strengthening apprenticeships, the question is how India can build a skilling system that leads to more meaningful employment opportunities for its youth.
