Description:
The RTD model focuses on bringing in industry, in various capacities, to cater to its specific needs for a trained workforce and thus offer ready employment to youth who undergo its designed training. The program will train the workforce in soft skills, in-plant training for hands-on learning, and continuous industry interface for enhanced employability. Industry tie-ups for Green Skilling programs such as renewable energy, e-mobility, and energy efficiency are a few focus areas.
Scope of Work:
- Gathering industry requirement: Implementing Agency (IA) shall gather the requirement of skilled workers in MSMEs across the state of Maharashtra and partner with the industries for training and deployment.
- Tailored training programs: Based on the data captured, IA shall design tailor-made training programs on Industry 4.0/5.0 Courses and Employability Skills.
- Mobilization: Based on the industry requirement, IA shall identify potential candidates for recruitment, training, and deployment in MSMEs. Mobilization should be done before the commencement of a batch.
- Training: Candidates will undergo 10 days (80 hours) of intensive training programs designed to equip them with the exact skills and knowledge required for their specific roles. This targeted approach ensures that they are not only familiar with the theoretical aspects of the job but also proficient in practical applications.
The training will include real-world simulations and hands-on projects, which will ensure that candidates can handle the challenges they will face in their roles, reducing the likelihood of underperformance. - Deployment: Once candidates complete the training successfully, they are placed on the shop floor.
Fact:
By 2030, nearly 40% of job roles will require new-age digital skills like automation, AI, robotics, and data analytics.
