Why Skill Development is Significant ?
National Employability Report by New-Delhi based
Aspiring Minds (an employability evaluation and certification company)
revealed :
Of the 6,00,000 engineers that graduate annually in the
country less than 8% Indian engineers fit for Core
Engineering roles
(The Economic Times, Jun 14, 2016)
The nationwide analysis based on a sample of 1,50,000
engineers showed there was a huge gap in skills of
engineers as needed, to work in the large industry.
(The Hindu, June 14, 2016)
Initiative Drives of Government of India
Significant drive of Government of India to promote
inclusive growth in electronic services, products, devices,
manufacturing, job opportunities are Make in India(Sept.
2014), Digital India(July 2015) and Skill India (July 2015)
This initiative aspires to generate 100 million jobs by
2022.
Low employability of engineers, will impede this growth
in a big way and requires Skill development with
immediate attention.
basic electrical engineering / basic concepts of
mechanics etc. is the key area of attention to reduce this
gap and make these initiatives successful.
Core Engineering Sectors
Manufacturing
Information Technology
Infrastructure
Power
Skill Development : The Core issues
Socio-economic Development
Social and economic development in a society mainly literacy
and levels of employment
Reform in Education System
Practice and experience(Practical) based teaching to replace
present book-based and theory-oriented teaching system
HR development
Process of developing the knowledge, skills, education etc.
Uniform opportunity
Right to be treated without discrimination on the basis of
language, caste, race, sex, national origin, religion etc.
Technical skill
Feedback from the ground level
Skill
Skill is the ability and capacity to smoothly

and adaptively carryout complex activities
or job functions
Technical skills
The knowledge and abilities needed to
accomplish mathematical, engineering,
scientific, computer or technology related.
Technical skill for Engineers
All successful engineers have strength and
weaknesses but they have some essential
skills in common which helped them to place
themselves amongst the top engineers of the
world.
Those are basic Skills and Knowledge can be

termed as Employability Skill
Employability Skill
doing value creating work, getting paid
for it and learning at the same time,
enhancing the ability to shape work in
the future
In the other word employability skills not

only can help to get job but, it can also
help to stay in a job
Set of skills termed as Employability Skill
1. Communication
2. Teamwork
3. Problem solving
4. Innovative and initiative
5. Planning and organizing
6. Self-management
7. Learning
8. Technology
An Engineer is one who

knows basic engineering practices
have practical knowledge
Engineering book knowledge cannot convert

to engineering practices without
practical involvement
An Engineer should be able to answer the
following queries
what the basic problem is?
why the problem created ?
what to be done to resolve it ?
how it will be done ?
what is the best suitable solution for a
particular problem ?
The Practices Young Engineers should Avoid
1. Using short cut method to get quick result
2. Instruction to the working group following Book
Knowledge
3. Tendency of reluctant to site visit
4. Taking decision on telephonic communication
5. Use of software for practical solution
6. Ego problem and ignoring key/expert person
7. Sitting Idle during free time (no direct job or
assignment )
8. Showing more interest to non technical issues or
jobs
Result of Wrong Practices
1. He will become more manager than an engineer
2. He may lose the ability to use his engineering knowledge
effectively
3. He may always be dependent on others decision.
4. He may have to compromise with wrong doing by his
subordinates
5. He may never be able to take quick decisions to achieve
required result in time
6. He may feel comfortable with old machine, old system of
functioning or keep status quo
7. He may not be able to encourage for adoption of new
technology
8. Absence of confidence to stick to his decision which he
feels right
9. He may get frustrated with his engineering carrier
Communication
1. Writing assignments and reports as part of assigned role
2. Oral presentations on assigned role
3. Should interact with the work force in local language to
understand their views
4. Use pen and paper and free hand drawing to explain a
new thing or job to your technical workers
Teamwork
1. Listen views of each member of the team and take
appropriate decision
2. Goal-setting in a meeting with every team members
participation with equal status
3. Periodic meetings with team members and encourage
them to provide feedback on team activities

case studies etc. to improve your knowledge and way of
functioning
2. Use internet and digital system learning and upgrade
your knowledge in other technical fields also
3. Learn free hand drawing or sketch with pen/pencil to
explain job functions to your work force
Technology
1. Learn to use a computer for different technical
requirement like computing, drawing or maintaining
database etc.
2. Keep yourself updated with new technology
1. Young Engineers should be considered as assistant
2. Avoid shifting of responsibilities to young engineers to
avoid committing mistakes
3. Opportunity to be given to solve any issue related to

14. Do not criticize harshly for committing mistake
15. Teach and explain how to avoid the possible mistake
16. Encourage and guide young engineer to explore new
innovative ideas for improvements
Engineering Reform to reform Core Sector
will be possible if the entire engineering society
starting from
engineering institutions to core engineering sector
changes their way of functioning to achieve the goal
