Vocational Training Centres

 Following three major schemes to propagate vocational training among the unemployed youth in the country are being implemented by Directorate General of Employment and Training under Ministry of Labour & Employment:

          i.  Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS).


         ii.  Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) under the Apprentices Act, 1961.


        iii.  Skill Development Initiative.


          The details of the schemes are given in the Annex – I & II

The number of Industrial Training Institutes along with Central Institutes setup in various States including Chhattisgarh is given in the Annex - III.

Government and Private Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) are affiliated to National Council for Vocational Training (NCVT) to impart training under Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) throughout the country.

Administration of ITIs is under the control of State Governments / Union Territory Administrations and therefore, data on employment is not maintained centrally. However, according to performance evaluation of ITIs conducted by Quality Council of India (QCI) in January 2011, graduates from Government ITIs getting employment has been upto 60%. However it has been upto 99% in case of ITIs running Centres of Excellence (COE) courses in upgraded ITIs.

This information was given by the Union Labour & Employment Minister Shri Mallikarjun Kharge in reply to a written question in the Lok Sabha today.
