Skilled-in-Odisha “Experience Sharing Workshop”

7th September 2017- Hotel Le’ Meridian Bangalore, Karnataka

Background: The Experience Sharing Workshop was held on 7th September 2017 in Hotel Le’Meridien at Bangalore. The main aim of the workshop was to have a congregation of all the stakeholders associated with the implementation of Skill Development programme in Odisha. The presence of eminent and experienced delegates from Government of India, Government of Odisha, Industries and Project Implementing Partners gave a 360 degree view of the skilling initiative undertaken by the State of Odisha.

Odisha Rural Development and Marketing Society {ORMAS} which is the implementing agency for carrying out the Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana {DDU-GKY} programme in Odisha was the organizer of the workshop. ORMAS has been implementing DDU-GKY programme since 2014 and has been pioneering in the implementation of the same in the country. ORMAS has taken a number of initiatives towards adding on value to the implementation process and the workshop was also organized with an intentto get insights from all the stakeholders which would help in further improvising and strategizing the implementation processes.

Outcome of the Workshop The Workshop created an awareness among the industries about the programme and the

efforts of the State in creating Skilled Workforce

The first ever skill development workshop which involved the HR Heads of the companies who are the existing as well as the potential employers for the skilled candidates.

Felicitation of the Skill Icons in such a big platform encouraged and motivated them to retain in their job and progress in their career and to make their Skill, their strength.

Industries have shown interest in recruiting the skilled candidates and ORMAS has been able to initiate talks with companies like Hinduja, Raymonds etc.

Some of the Potential PIAs such as Team Lease, Cotton Blossoms who had attended the event have now become the partners with ORMAS for implementing the DDU-GKY programme.

There has been a shift in the mindset of the industries who had been earlier treating the DDU-GKY trained candidates as unskilled employees are now convinced that the candidates are skilled employees.

Employers have started interacting with the employees during the period of their training

which has helped in reducing the dropouts.
