In its effort to provide skilled workforce for the rubber sector, B ABLE has

emerged as one of the leading Training Providers (TPs) for RSDC. B ABLE has

conducted trainings across manufacturing and plantation job roles and has

been able to train approximately 4000 candidates, spanning over past 4 years

across the country.

“The contribution of training providers in imparting skills cannot be

undermined. Without their strong quality benchmarks in training or even

lack of meaningful career options for youth, post training , the vision of Skill

India may not reach the desired goal. Ever since its inception, RSDC has

emphasized on the quality of the training provided by its affiliated Training

Partners. Some of these TPs rank amongst the best in the country”, said Ms

Meghna Mishra, CEO RSDC.

“We have been recognizing the hard work and tireless efforts of the Training

Partners, working in the Rubber Sector, during our Annual Awards

Ceremony. Our preference has always been towards the Training partners

who have been consistent on the quality parameters set by the SSC.”, added

Ms Meghna Mishra. Rubber sector faces a demand - supply mismatch as the

industry needs more skilled workforce than what is available today. RSDC

has conducted Skill Gap study across 20 states/UTs to understand the gaps

in the current workforce and how it can be minimized through the

intervention of Skill based trainings.

So far more than lakh candidates have been enrolled for training by 50 affiliated training partners of RSDC. Out

of these more than 70 thousand candidates have been certified and have been provided placements. RSDC's

training partners are conducting various training programmes in the NSQF aligned courses. RSDC has

developed NOS based curriculum for 69 manufacturing and 32 rubber plantation Job roles. RSDC has developed

Content and handbooks for 30 job roles and is working on developing e-learning simulated content as well.

RSDC has also tied up with 11 colleges and universities across India to conduct B.VOC and Dual Certification

Programs in Rubber Technology, RSDC has signed MoUs with 13 State Governments.

India has one of the largest and youngest workforce in the world. Quality of training can make a huge difference

between employability and unemployability for youth of the country. Sector Skill councils such as RSDC are

playing a major role in standardization of training and certification requirements. However it is training

providers, like B-ABLE, who are aligned with the vision of RSDC that can help impart meaningful skilling.

Gautam Pathak is the project co-ordinator for

In India today, more than 62% of the population is in the working age-group

(15-59 years), and over 54% of the total population is below 25 years of age.

In fact, in the next 20 years, the labor force in the industrialized world is

expected to decline by 4%, while in India it will increase by 32%.

Despite being the world’s youngest country in terms of demographic

dividend, India has only 2% of its workforce skilled. For the past few

decades, we have only focused on a knowledge-based and higher education-

oriented system. The focus on skilling youth through skill training

interventions was earlier missing.

Not many young people get an opportunity to follow the traditional career

path or pursue professions such as doctors and engineers, who are anyway

in excess in the country. Skill India and its various schemes are an

opportunity for the youth to take up an alternate career and get skilled. The

aim of the government is to bring vocational education at par with the

degree courses. Possessing a specialized skill set increases employment

opportunities. Today, even entry level roles in many industries require base

level qualifications. By completing a training course, the employment

opportunities become wider for a person. Moreover, this has become a

prerequisite to stand out in the crowd and meet the demands of the current,

highly-competitive job market. Females constitute 48.5% of India’s total

population. Yet the contribution of women accounts for only 17% of the

country’s GDP. The Beauty & Wellness Industry is one of the sectors which

can provide maximum job/entrepreneurship opportunities to enhance

women’s control over financial, human and intellectual resources in society.

Keeping in line with the vision of our Hon’ble Prime Minister to make India the “HR Capital” of the world and

the vision of B&WSSC “Together, May We give our Youth and Women the Skilling Roots to Grow & Career

Wings to Fly”, B&WSSC has been aggressively working towards the placements of its certified candidates. In the

course of its efforts, B&WSSC has been organizing exclusive job fairs for the Beauty & Wellness professionals’

pan-India. According to the KPMG Skill Gap report, there is an additional manpower requirement of 14.27

million in the Beauty and Wellness industry by 2022. According to report IN Hindu Business Line, the Beauty

and Wellness industry will be the largest job puller by 2022, even surpassing agriculture.

Training partners are major stakeholders in the skilling ecosystem. B-ABLE one of our Training Partner,

plays a vital role in providing requisite training to the youth of India, empowering them and providing

them a platform to become financially independent.

To make Skill India a success, we urge all the key stakeholders to come forward, as the support is vital to

ensure we achieve our mission. Together, with our persistence, devotion and hard work, we can certainly

spread awareness. Your extended support will Empower Youth and Empower India!

Trades in blue collared workforce like painting is often seen

as a low inspiration profession by youth of India. There are

several reasons behind this like absence of regular salaries,

lack of social security benefits, job security, risk of injuries

and negative perception of society about the trades.

In wake of booming economy and increased rate of

construction in the past few years the demand for such

workers have increased steadily but due to low aspiration the

supply of the workforce has been very limited. This increased

demand not only requires more people in the blue collared

workforce but also need manpower with increased skill level

which is of very limited availability.

Changed Scenario of Skill Training In Blue Collared Jobs

In order to address these issues and take up the opportunity AkzoNobel has joined hands with different

stakeholders to initiate skill training programme in blue collared jobs like painting in decorative paints and

vehicle refinish. While fostering the partnership it was very important that all stakeholders played an important

role to ensure the trades are attractive enough for the youth to join. For example it was important that paint

contractors who are the primary employers provides regular minimum wages (as per semi-skilled standards) and

social security benefits while skill training agencies ensure quality training is imparted as per the industry

requirement so that the contractors derive benefit out of the workforce. In wake of this winning partnership it’s a

matter of pride that in the past two years there has been a visible change in the attitude of youth towards painting

trade. It can be substantiated by the fact that in the past two years AkzoNobel Paint Academy have trained more

than 2500 painters across six states of the country out of which more than 70% are employed in the painting

trade.

NULM in Uttrakhand and Uttar

Pradesh

On the basis of the successful completion

of previous projects under National

Urban Livelihoods Mission B-ABLE got

another work order to provide skill

training under NULM in UP and UK.

B-ABLE has already trained 9238

students under NULM scheme.

As skill training agencies play an very important role in the training

like shortlisting right target group, counselling, doing training and

placement it is very important that the right training agency is selected

to impart skill training. One winning example is of the partnership

AkzoNobel has with B-ABLE in doing skill training in Decorative

Paints in Delhi. This partnership though in early stages has already

done wonders in attracting more youth from hinterlands of the

country to take this trade and get attractive livelihood. This

partnership apart from regular training organizes regular

consultations with stakeholders to ensure better workplace

practices and wages to ensure painting becomes one of the most

attractive training trades for the youth. With India becoming the

fastest growing economy of the world there is no stopping of the

construction and automobile sector and so are the opportunities of the

drivers of the sector i.e. the blue collared workforce.

B-ABLE Attained SCGJ Affiliation

B-ABLE got the affiliation from the Skill Council for Green Jobs. With this

B-ABLE now has 19 sector skill council affiliations. B-ABLE is also making

efforts to achieve affiliation from other SSCs.

Our school started with the vocational course in

‘Healthcare’ sector since 2016 in its 2nd phase in

Chhattisgarh. The course provides students with the

exposure to the world of professional education

regarding health procedures and services in their initial

stage of career. This also improves their interest

towards their regular school studies. The Students are

showing a lot of interest in learning new skills of

medical practices and participating in other educational

activities.

After completing 4 years of vocational course along with

their education students are expected to become skilled,

trained and confident to perform lifesaving activities for

self, family and community in an efficient manner.

Vocational education provides students an opportunity

to participate in different programmes which are run by Govt .Of India like mission Indradhanush , Matri Shishu

Suraksha Yojna etc . These programmes give more practical and knowledgeable experience about the use of

healthcare techniques in their life. During this course the students are also exposed to various healthcare

agencies and hospitality sectors. Most importantly, the guest lectures of Doctors and healthcare workrs

motivate the students and they get a first-hand experience during their school life, thereby showing a direction

towards their future career path which can be respectable and also gives sustainable livelihood.

Once the students complete the 4 years of vocational course, they will be skilled to provide healthcare facilities

to the people living in the remote villages of Bijapur who do not have access to basic healthcare facility. This will

be like a dream come true for the people and a great success of the vocational programme and its goal.

As a head of this institute I think government has taken a great initiative through the NSQF project. Considering

the current employment situation in our country. Our school students are now actively participating in all

healthcare programmes since the past 2 years. It was a very proud moment for our school when our vocational

Trainer received the Appreciation Award from the honourable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

“Our Training Partner B-ABLE is implementing the project very effectively and giving all the support. Also, the

co-ordinator Mr.Parivesh Masih is supervising all the activities in every possible way”.

B-ABLE Vocational Trainers have attended the ToTs of agriculture and healthcare trades in Chhattisgarh and Himachal Pradesh organized by RMSA. In Chhattisgarh the ToT was conducted in two phases in July where 83 trainers participated and in Himachal Pradesh it was

conducted in three phases where 184 trainers participated from B-ABLE.

NIJAMUDEEN KATHOT –DDUGKY First Steps to a new life A soft spoken young boy in his 20’s is working in a reputed Hotel –Radison Blue, Udaipur.

With just 7 months into his job, Nijamudeen was upgraded from a Trainee to the job role of ‘Guest

Service Assistant’ (GSA). He earns aapprox 9000/- per month as his salary and feels happy

to financially support his large family of seven.

Nijamudeen shares that being a part of this 90 day training in the Hospitality sector under

the DDUGKY project was the best thing that happened in his life. The training gave him a direction in life at a time when

he was feeling very low and depressed as he had to give up his ITI training due to unavoidable circumstances. ‘The

training duration was very interesting and everyday was a new learning experience’, he said. “Not only did I learn the

nitty-gritties of work but also developed my personality from head to toe.”. He admitted that he had a very colloquial

(local) accent but now with the help of his peers at work he has learned to speak Hindi in a proper accent and can

communicate with his guests very effectively. In a shy voice he said, “I can now speak some simple sentences in English

as well”. Extremely committed and hardworking boy, Nijamudeen wishes to continue in the Hospitality sector and has

aspiration to grow big in life. Just like he has a respectable livelihood, he would like to inspire the other youth of his

village to also undergoo the training and find a direction in life.

programme. He got curious

and went to inquire about

it the next day. There was

no looking back for him

after that. He took

permission for time off

from his employers and

started to attend the course

regularly. He now feels

proud to be certified for his

skills. As a token of

appreciation he has now

been upgraded to a

PANNELAL-AKZONOBEL My Family Does Not Sleep Hungry Any More!! –

Here is a story of a young boy of 18 years. He along with his elder brother, sister and their father belong to a small village

near Gorakhpur, (U P). Like any other poverty streaking people of the village they too were not sure of getting 2 square

meals a day. This is precisely the reason why he and his siblings went to school –so they can take advantage of the mid-day

meal facility in the nearby Govt School.

This young boy named Pannelal Prajapati, today boasts about being a qualified

and a certified painter earning more than Rs 11,000/- per month. How did this

transformation happen? Its all thanks to the CSR initiative of AkzoNobel and B-

ABLE as their Training Partners. This specific skill based training was focused

to train the youth in the job role of ‘ Advanced Painting and decoration’ so they

can earn their livelihood as a painter.

Pannelal became a part of the training programme through one of the

mobilisation drive being conducted around his village by the B-ABLE team.

Much to the reluctance of the family, Pannelal joined the training programme

at Delhi. This 2 month training programme, he said, “opened a whole new

world for me. Not only did I learn the skill but also learned the importance of

good grooming, communication skills, discipline, value of time and much

more”. Pannelal further expresses that he enjoys his work and sometimes also

does double shift to earn that extra bit. Pannelal gets emotional as he shares

that now he and his family do not have to sleep hungry. Also that he was able

to provide for a long pending medical treatment for his younger brother. Pannelal is a hard working young boy, and is

committed to work with honesty and dedication as he moves on his journey, he promises to keep learning and improve

upon his present skills and get better at his work. Seeing his success, many youngsters of his village have got inspired to

also join the training programme. B-ABLE’s Team wishes Pannelal success both in his personal and professional life.
