Government to Integrate Employment and Skill Training Programmes

September 6: The government is preparing to conduct employment and skill-based training in an integrated manner in order to avoid duplication.

In a discussion held at the Ministry of Finance on Sunday, high-ranking officials of the concerned ministries and agencies, including the National Planning Commission, concluded that the training programmes should be conducted in an integrated way through a one-door system. Finance Minister Janardan Sharma has instructed the officials of the concerned agencies to do their homework accordingly.

After the discussion, the finance minister directed concerned bodies to make policy-level preparations so that the duplicate training programmes would be conducted in an integrated manner.

“The concerned stakeholders carry out the same programme every year and there is no effectiveness in the work in this way,” he said, “We should end the problem of giving the same training to the same person every year but the person does not become self-employed.”

He was of the view that all the trainings related to the labor sector should be conducted through the Ministry of Labor and all kinds of training related to the development sector should be conducted through the Ministry of Education. Minister Sharma added that integrated curriculum should be implemented across the country while conducting trainings and there should be arrangements of providing certificates of integrated structure to all after the completion of the training.

According to him, by doing so, the training certificates received in urban areas and rural areas will get equal recognition.
