Innovative Reforms at Training Institutes Reflecting the changing policy environment for skills development, training institutions have recently introduced several new initiatives. Supported by the World Bank, the government selected 500 ITIs as Centers of Excellence (COE) to offer “advanced module” training, and upgrade their facilities, equipment, and machinery to the same standard used in industry. Under the COE scheme, each ITI must establish an institute management committee (IMC) of 8 to 10 members. The IMC chair is selected from the private sector, often from a leading local private firm, and has power to approve major decisions about the ITI’s management. Operating as a public-private partnership, the IMC is expected to forge partnerships between ITIs and the private sector to: share labor market information, especially on the types of skills in demand; develop curriculum; and seek donations of equipment and tools from the private sector to upgrade ITI facilities and equipme...
Challenges Facing Skills Development Efforts Today, youth in developing countries who are seeking work face great difficulty. First, in the globalized era, competition has intensified among firms and industries, requiring them to improve the efficiency and quality of their products and services.

Globally, some 200 million people are unemployed, including 75 million under age 25. Third, technological change, particularly the development of information and communication technology (ICT), is occurring at unprecedented speed, requiring workers to have more, and more complex, cognitive skills than ever. Moreover, the gl...
The current state of education The current state of education, skills development, and employment for Indian youth, and considers the challenges facing India’s skills development system. Drawing from the experience of Karnataka, one of India’s most industrially developed states, the paper discusses recent initiatives to facilitate young people’s transition to the world of work. In India, young people who will soon be entering the labor market, constitute the largest segment of the demographic structure. The majority of young people have limited access to education and training, and most find work in the informal sector. In recent years India has rapidly expanded the capacity of educational institutions and enrollments, but dropout rates remain high, and educational attainment remains low. While India has a well-institutionalized system of vocational training, it has not sufficiently prepared its youth with the skills that today’s industries require. Thus, to speed its eco...
