Skill Development based on Modular Employable Skills (MES)
Background
The need for giving emphasis on the Skill Development, especially for the
less educated, poor and out of school youth has been highlighted in various
forums. The skill level and educational attainment of the work force determines
the productivity, income levels as well as the adaptability of the working class in
changing environment. Large percentage of population in India is living below
poverty line. One of the important causes is lower percentage of skilled persons
in the workforce
The skill development at present is taking place mostly in the informal

way, i.e. persons acquire skill at the work-place when they help their parents,
relatives and employers etc. Such persons do not have a formal certificate and
thus earn lower wages and are exploited by employers. They have come
through informal system due to socio-economic circumstances of the family and
the compulsions of earning a livelihood rather than attending a formal course.
While their productivity is low, their contribution to the national GDP cannot be
ignored. If the country can create a system of certification which not only
recognizes their skills but also provides education and training in a mode that
suits their economic compulsions, it will not only benefit the workforce to earn a
decent living but also contribute to the national economy by better productivity of
this workforce.
Another related problem to be tackled is large number of students drop

outs (About 63% of the school students drop out at different stages before
reaching Class-X).
Frame work for Skill Development based on ‘Modular Employable Skills

(MES)’
Very few opportunities for skill development are available for the above
referred groups (out of school youth & existing workers especially in the informal
sector). Most of the existing Skill Development programmes are long term in
nature. Poor and less educated persons can not afford long term training
programmes due to higher entry qualifications, opportunity cost etc. Therefore,
a new frame work for Skill Development for the Informal Sector has been
evolved by the DGET to address to the above mentioned problems. The key
features of the new frame work for skill development are:
 Demand driven Short term training courses based on modular employable

skills decided in consultation with Industry
 Flexible delivery mechanism (part time, weekends, full time)
4
 Different levels of programmes (Foundation level as well as skill
upgradation) to meet demands of various target groups
 Central Government will facilitate and promote training while Vocational
Training (VT) Providers under the Govt. and Private Sector will provide
training
 Optimum utilisation of existing infrastructure to make training cost
effective.
 Testing of skills of trainees by independent assessing bodies who would
not be involved in conduct of the training programme, to ensure that it is
done impartially.
 Testing & certification of prior learning (skills of persons acquired
informally)
The Short Term courses would be based on „Modular Employable Skills

(MES)‟.
The concept for the MES is :
 Identification of „minimum skills set‟ which is sufficient to get an employment
in the labour market.
 It allows skills upgradation, multiskilling, multi entry and exit, vertical mobility
and life long learning opportunities in a flexible manner.
 It also allows recognition of prior learning (certification of skills acquired
informally) effectively.
 The modules in a sector when grouped together could lead to a qualification
equivalent to National Trade Certificate or higher.
 Courses could be available from level 1 to level 3 in different vocations
depending upon the need of the employer organisations.
 MES would benefit different target groups like :
o Workers seeking certification of their skills acquired informally
o workers seeking skill upgradation
o early school drop-outs and unemployed
o previously child labour and their familly
Age of participants
The minimum age limit for persons to take part in the scheme is 14 years
but there is no upper age limit.
Curriculum Development Process

Following procedure is used for developing course curricula
• Identification of Employable Skills set in a sector based on division of work in

the labour market.
• Development of training modules corresponding to skills set identified so as
to provide training for specific & fit for purpose
• Organization of modules in to a Course Matrix indicating vertical and
horizontal mobility. The course matrix depicts pictorially relation among
5
various modules, pre requisites for higher level modules and how one can
progress from one level to another.
• Development of detailed curriculum and vetting by a trade committee and by
the NCVT
(Close involvement of Employers Organizations, State Governments, experts,

vocational training providers and other stake holders is ensured at each stages).
Development of Core Competencies

Possession of proper attitudes is one of the most important attribute of a
competent person. Without proper attitudes, the performance of a person gets
adversely affected. Hence, systematic efforts will be made to develop attitudes
during the training programme.
The trainees deal with men, materials and machines. They handle sophisticated
tools and instruments. Positive attitudes have to be developed in the trainees by
properly guiding them and setting up examples of good attitudes by
demonstrated behaviors and by the environment provided during training.
Some important core competencies to be developed are:
1. Safety consciousness and safe working practices

2. Care of equipment and tools
3. Punctuality, discipline and honesty
4. Concern for quality
5. Respect for rules and regulations
6. Concern for health and hygiene
7. Cordial relationship and Cooperation with co-workers and team Work
8. Positive attitude and behavior
9. Responsibility and accountability
10. Learn continously
11. Communication Skills
12. Concern for environment and waste disposal
Following competencies should also be developed during level-II and higher
courses:
1. Ability for planning, organizing and coordinating
2. Creative thinking, problem solving and decision making
3. Leadership
4. Ability to bear stress
5. Negotiation
Duration of the Programmes
Time taken to gain the qualification will vary according to the pathway taken and
will be kept very flexible for persons with different backgrounds and experience.
Duration has been prescribed in hours in the curriculum of individual module,
which are based on the content and requirements of a MES Module. However,
some persons may take more time than the prescribed time. They should be
provided reasonable time to complete the course.
6
Pathways to acquire Qualification:
Access to the qualification could be through:
 An approved training programme; Or

 A combination of an approved training programme plus recognition
of prior learning including credit transfer; Or
 The recognition of prior learning that provides evidence of the
achievement of the competencies for the qualification.
Methodology
The training methods to be used should be appropriate to the development of
competencies. The focus of the programme is on “performing” and not on
“Knowing”. Lecturing will be restricted to the minimum necessary and emphasis
to be given for „hands on training‟.
The training methods will be individual centered to make each person a

competent one. Opportunities for individual work will be provided. The learning
process will be continuously monitored and feedback will be provided on
individual basis.
Demonstrations using different models, audio visual aids and equipment will be
used intensively.
Instructional Media Packages
In order to maintain quality of training uniformly all over the country, instructional
media packages (IMPs) will be developed by the National Instructional Media
Institute (NIMI), Chennai.
Assessment
DGE&T will appoint assessing bodies to assess the competencies of the trained
persons. The assessing body will be an independent agency, which will not be
involved in conducting the training programmes. This, in turn, will ensure quality
of training and credibility of the scheme. Keeping in view the target of providing
training/testing of one million persons through out the country and to avoid
monopoly, more than one assessing bodies will be appointed for a sector or an
area.
Certificate
Successful persons will be awarded certificates issued by National Council for
Vocational Training (NCVT).
