Why countries like Switzerland, Singapore, Sweden and Japan are focused on making more Indians employable

Why countries like Switzerland, Singapore, Sweden and Japan are focused on making more Indians employable

At 287 million, India currently has the world’s largest illiterate adult population, says UNESCO. Over 45% of India’s workers are employed in low productivity agriculture.
Last week, India and Japan signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to send 3 lakh Indian workers for on-jobtraining to Japan. Not too far away, two World Bank-backed schemes of Rs 6,655 crore for skill development got the government nod. 

Around the same time in Sweden, a delegation led by minister Suresh Prabhu, while soliciting investments, also made a pitch to Swedish honchos to partner in skilling Indian workers. And last month, backed by the government, LinkedIn signed a pact with IL&FS Skills Development Corporation to roll out the first-ever platform to upskill blue-collar Indian workers and help them network and find jobs. Earlier, National Skill Development Council (NSDC) had joined hands with Google to train Indian app developers. Then, Asian Development Bank is helping roll out skill programmes from Himachal Pradesh to Odisha. 

Ties are being forged with academic institutions like Australia’s Deakin University and Harvard Business School, US, to monitor and aid NSDC’s skill development programmes. Talks are on with community colleges from the US and Canada to beef up India’s vocational training infrastructure. India is staring at a job crisis. In a country with over 470 million workers, how to create jobs and make Indians employable is the government’s biggest worry. Efforts within the country are on to find some answers.
