Srinagar, Nov 9 (KNN) The Jammu and Kashmir government would be imparting skills development training to over nine lakh youth in the state during the 12th Five Year Plan period.
The programme will be initiated under the state’s skill development mission to ensure that more youth get jobs in both public and private sector firms within the country.
"Our training programmes should be reflective of the requirements in the job market. Steps should be taken to devise an inbuilt mechanism in the course curriculum itself to ensure market-oriented skill training to the youth," Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said at a meeting in Jammu yesterday.
“However, during the course, some redesigning or rearranging may be required to suit the job market to ensure higher placement avenues for youth," he added.
The chief minister also said that state government besides engaging private players through initiatives like Udaan and Himmat has simultaneously focused on enhancing the existing training facilities. (KNN/ST)
