DESIGNING EMPLOYABLE COURSESGroup 7

PRESENT CHALLENGES

Lack of understanding of industry requirements Industry requirements not incorporated in the

curricula Colleges do not have appropriate delivery

plan/session plan in place Absence of physical and academic infrastructure

to deliver these new courses Periodic updation in the course content needed Professional skills and generic skills are missing Need for outcome based assessment Dearth of certified trainers and assessors

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

Qualification Packs (QPs) by Sector Skill Councils to understand the industry requirements

Alignment of curricula with QPs to incorporate key competencies

Curricula and corresponding session plan development workshops with all stakeholders ( Universities, NSDC, SSCs..)

Specific infrastructure requirements to be mentioned in the curricula

Schedule periodic workshops for updating of curricula Industry mentor involvement to be specified in the

session plan. Qualification Pack based assessment Integrate standards for trainers and assessors along

with regular Training of trainers and assessors.

WAY FORWARD

First Curricula Development Workshop by January 2015 with the goal of creating competency based curricula for 10 courses suggested by colleges/universities.

Public validation through crowd sourcing for gathering inputs from stakeholders.
