5 Skill Programs You Should Focus On

India has always considered ‘Skill development’ a national priority. Youth is the driving force in any economy and if trained to its full capacity, can play a vital role in growth of the country. Development of skills at the school and graduation level is very essential to channelize the present generation and help in job opportunities. Considering the current scenario, India has an employability problem. While the industry continues to groans about the lack of skilled manpower, we need to assess the situation from ground level and evaluate the existing education and vocational training at an early age. ‘Skill India’ movement is coming up with several programmes to increase the youth employability, but there are also some other programmes which we should provide to young students that will help build their confidence and long lasting careers.

Here are five skill development programs that can help students develop the right skills and provide a better brighter future.

Soft Skills and Leadership Skills: These programs need to be introduced to build their soft skills and leadership skills, equipping them to productively perform at their future jobs. They can be tailored accordingly to generate the best results. Soft skills must be introduced as a basic conclusive program to the students to dictate success in their career and build strong professional relationships. It should focus on the aspect of developing unique inter and intra personal skills, conversation skills and polishing behaviour traits. Leadership training programs specifically designed for new leaders and fresher employees to develop qualities and skills such as Stress and conflict Management, team efficiency, work-life balance, vision creation, creativity and Critical Thinking. To impart more value creation to the student the training is custom designed, interactive, skills based.

Entrepreneurship Skills: With many start-up firms budding and flourishingly, today’s youth is ready to start their own businesses. These programs provide guidelines for gainful employment for those who wish to establish their business independently. These need holistic complex processes to build technical capabilities of potential entrepreneurs to reduce high dropout rate and increase the chances of start-up success.

Digital Skills: The digital economy of India requires new talent introducing short term digital and IT workshops which enables students to use computers, software’s and related technology efficiently. The IT sector is accelerating at a fast pace, each new technology cycle has emerged new digital skill requirements, moving from basic functions to more advanced and powerful applications. Hence, the magnitude of training and re-skilling required is enormous. Youth need to refresh their skills more frequently if they wish to stay relevant in the rapidly changing business environment and be equipped and ready for the future digital India.

Problem solving and Analytical skills: These skills can help the students to evaluate  business problems such as; making timely accurate decisions, thinking outside-the-box and creating larger solution space  in fields of IT, engineering, management, finance and more. A logical and methodical approach is rendered to the students to improve their ability to understand and solve complex challenges. Using their academic knowledge students can identify and implement appropriate problem solving solutions of technical or practical nature. This will help them to deal with different incurring crucial situations, hence giving them a powerful and competitive career advantage.

Creativity and Flexibility Skills: There is a lack of creativity and innovation in our traditional education systems. We need to realize that these skills are essential for the Indian economy and our youth has innovative minds and creative spirits, their creativity and flexibility needs to be nourished for their personal development. These are skill-specific and require intentional instruction; creativity and flexibility need to be considered as a skill and to be included in the learning standards by the educators. These skills are important to help students create their own jobs and prepare themselves for specific careers.

Vocabulary- Today students lack good vocabulary which will affect them in future when they will show up for competitive exams or interviews. As English is today known to be the most desired language, students need to focus on their speaking skills and should have a good vocabulary.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual.

On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
