 RATIONALE

Employability skills play an important role in one’s career. Professional skills are a
person’s skill set and ability to perform a certain type of activity or task. Employability skills
are a person’s ability to interact effectively with co-workers and customers. Hard skills are
mainly applicable at the work place. Employability skills are applicable both at workplace
and outside the work place. Employability skills complement the hard skills which are
occupational requirement of a job. It also complements many other activities even outside
the work place. Presently employability skills are increasingly sought out by employers in
addition to standard qualification. There are instances of professions where employability
skills proved to be more important, on a long term basis than occupational skills.
Employability skills refer to behavior, communication, IT Skill, work ethics etc. which makes
a person suitable to effectively work in a team. Studies suggest that employability skills are
equally important indication of job performance as hard skills. The competency level of the
worker increases with the Employability skills and takes him to the next level.
Recognizing this importance of soft skills the DGT during its 38th Meeting held on 31st
May, 2011 recommended introduction of subject “Employability Skills” replacing “Social
Studies” in ITI curricula. Government of India accepted the above recommendation and
introduced the subject “Employability Skills” in ITI curricula in place of “Social Studies” from
the August, 2012 session.

In the STRIVE meeting held on 26th march 2019 through video conferencing for
“Improved Teaching with blended mode of Learning” with CSTARI and NIMI along with DDG
(C&P), chaired by DG/AS, It was directed to revamp the present employability skills of 110
Hrs. Accordingly, Employability Skills syllabus of 80 hrs. duration for all six months trades
and 160 Hrs. duration for all other one and two year CTS trades is designed during 1st year.
Further for 2 year CTS trades, an additional 80 Hrs web based module on “English and
