SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND PLACEMENT CELL​

Skill development is the ability to identify skill gap and acquiring through deliberate, systematic, and sustained effort to carryout complex activities involving cognitive skills, technical skills, and interpersonal skills. It enhances the proficiency of a person in any area. It is a career-orientated method of teaching to equip individuals with the competencies required to perform a particular job. Multiple skills are required for a person to successfully executea task. Skill development thereby enhances the proficiency of a person in any area, nurturing their talents to build professional network. It is an integral part of an employee’s life, a necessity for career growth. Rayburn college as an educational institution for youth, endeavours to develop these skills and has taken the initiative by introducing training and employability programmes. This initiative is aimed at empowering the youth with adequate skill sets, to equip them with market-relevant skills and boost their chances of getting employment in various sectors of the economy.

Education can be defined as the knowledge, skills and development collectively gained from one’s study or training. In the last decade, the education system in our country has tremendously taken a leap thereby enlarging its area of focus. As per 2011 census, the literacy rate in Manipur is about 76%. However, we are well aware of the gap between literacy rate and rate of employment. This is because literacy does not always translate into employability skills. Manipur’s education system for instance, focus on rote learning and system of evaluation is through written exams. Under such system, there is no space for conceptual understanding, critical analysis, and implementation of ideas. The curriculum hardly has space for vocational courses which students can make use of in day-to-day life.   In the 21st century, the system has come to realise the need to build employability skills and with it also, expansion of markets and space for trade and self employment generation. Skill development can also be understood as a continuous process. Multiple skills are required for a person to successfully execute a task. Skill development thereby enhances the proficiency of a person in any area, nurturing their talents to build professional network. Skill development and training is an integral part of an employee’s life, a necessity for career growth.

In this spirit, Rayburn college as an educational institution for youth, endeavours to develop these skills and has taken the initiative by introducing training and employability programmes such as:

  • TATA Affirmative Action Program (TAAP) in collaboration with TATA Consultancy Services (TCS);
  • Trainings on trades such as Electrician, Constructions & Painting, Poultry Farming, Make-up Artist, Embroidery in collaboration with North-Eastern Skill & Entrepreneurship Development (NESEED) Foundation, a partner under NSDC;
  • Basic Computer training in partnership with National Institute of Electronics & Information Technology (NIELIT), Churachandpur; and
  • Korean Language course in association with King Sejong Institute, Imphal.

This initiative is aimed at empowering the youth with adequate skill sets, to equip them with market-relevant skills and boost their chances of getting employment in various sectors of the economy. This also provides individuals to improve their productivity, providing them with Communicative English, Corporate etiquette and soft skills, Resume building and Interview  skills, Analytical skills, and Computer skills such as MS Office and Internet browsing.

We believe that given the right opportunities and training, even the socially and economically excluded youth from the marginalized sections of society will acquire skills which will increase their chances of employment and income generation. Building their skills and providing education empowers young people and with time, they will be able to sustain themselves. In the near future, the trained youth will be able to uplift their families out of poverty, join the process of social inclusion and shall have a better dignified life.
