Bangalore: The Karnataka government Monday signed an agreement with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to impart trade skills in 100 state-run schools to make students employable after secondary education.
"We hope to deliver training modules, as it is imperative to harness skills at the education stage so youth are trained and employable from the beginning," NSDC principal Rajiv Mathur said on the occasion.
With the Union human resources development ministry approving the project for Karnataka, the framework will be implemented in class nine and class 11, with funding from the central and state governments.
The central government revised its vocational training in secondary education by integrating employability education into school education in Sep 2011 and made operational within the national vocational education qualification framework.
