Skill Development of Artisans – Policy Suggestions

Skill development programs encompass formal and informal approaches, undertaken by public agencies and private organizations alike. These programs typically fall into two categories: those focused on reskilling, upskilling, or acquiring new future skills, possibly with placement or entrepreneurial opportunities, and those leading directly to employment or self-employment. Both public and private sector initiatives, including formal marketing chains, start-ups, and CSR interventions, follow similar models. Whether through schematic programs or entrepreneurial ventures, skill development plays a crucial role in preparing individuals for the evolving demands of the workforce.
