15. Vision of TN Government on Skill Development
TN Skill Development Corporation would act as the repository of all information regarding skill development
It would identify sectors (region wise) which would require manpower in short and medium term
Skill gap Survey Research
Competency Mapping and Curriculum Relevance – revise / update the Existing curriculum
Prescribe standards in infrastructure, training content, duration and training cost
It would develop model syllabi for different sectors and levels which various institutions could use – Industry Centric Curriculum
It would identify training partners – Government and private
Remedial coaching and Finishing schools with affiliated colleges to enhance campus placement
Aim is that it would eventually act as a regulator for the sector to ensure that there is a proper match between demand and supply

16. Major Initiatives Contemplated
Having a cohort approach – 5 cohorts identified
Uncertified workforce, school drop outs, formal academic system, vocational training system and certified workers
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition
Vocationalization of School Education
Promote Competence Centres – Cluster approach to reform existing institutions
Improve employability of polytechnic and engineering college students
Popularize on the job training
Popularize apprenticeship programme
Implement National Skill Qualification Framework

17. Expectations from AICTE & other GOI bodies
Need for AICTE to design guidelines and standard model syllabi for different courses at all levels which each state could adopt after modifying the same for local context
At least sectors can be identified for this purpose
Need for labour/ Finance/ Industry/ HRD ministries to make a medium term projection for various sector of economies and the labour force required for growth in these sectors
More useful if state (or at least regional level) projection can also be done
