In January 2013, BARTI established a dedicated Skill Development Cell (SDC) for formulating a comprehensive Skill Development Policy for BARTI and for effective implementing Skill Development programs across the state. In the same month, the Skill Development Policy of BARTI was framed keeping in view the key tenets of National Skill Development Policy, 2009.
BARTI has been entrusted with the responsibility of organizing Skill Development Programs catering to the SC unemployed youth with an aim to bring them at par with general candidates, make them more competent, confident and help them to seek employment in industries/sectors where such skills are essential and also to conduct Action Research programmes for Skill Development in Maharashtra
BARTI has appointed reputed Training Service Providers (TSPs) to impart skill development trainings at no cost to the candidate, wherein the complete cost towards imparting the training is borne by BARTI. The skill initiative of BARTI is being handled by Skill Development Cell (SDC) ably guided and supported by Project Management Unit (PMU)
Background
Skill is an ability and capacity acquired through deliberate, systematic and sustained effort to smoothly and adaptively carryout complex activities or job functions involving ideas (cognitive skills), things (technical skills), and/or people (interpersonal skills).
Our country faces a huge challenge in terms of skilling the youth in the working age bracket of 18 – 45 and making them employable. The nation has educated youth who are jobless and we also have industries who are in dire need of human resource personnel. Even though we have plenty of manpower, the problem arises due to lack of skilled resources specific to the jobs which are in demand.
The industry is still facing a severe lack of skilled human resources, the issue of slow industrial and economic growth is unresolved, and unemployment continues to pose a severe challenge ahead for the nation in its quest to become an investment destination.
