= Overview =

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''SKILLS ACADEMY''' Pvt &nbsp;Ltd is a social Entrepreneurial venture started by '''Mr.Pramod Bhasin'''&nbsp;known as '''‘Father of Indian BPO Industry’ '''he is the founder of the Genpact formerly GE Capital International Services in 1997 and was the President and CEO of Genpact till June 2011.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The&nbsp;'''key Objective''' is to make skill development opportunities accessible to a cross-section of society across India and achieve excellence across sectors to maximize impact and efficiency.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have nearly 7 million people joining the workforce, the employability workforce, every year. Only 5-8% of our entire employment is in the organized sector.The rest is in an unorganized sector. &nbsp;We forget that 90% of the population is actually being left out &nbsp;from its thought. So education and skills remain a very emotive subject and a very difficult one to grasp. &nbsp;There are many issues today like awareness of skills and the values of skills; who will pay for skills training is still an open question frankly. Even though the current government has done an enormous amount to push it forward, we still need to train 50 million people up in vocational skills.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Skills Academy is not just about skills, or qualifications, or jobs. It’s about individual potential to help people develop the skills to find meaningful and sustainable employment to overcome the unemployment and various problems faced by citizens of India.</span>

&nbsp;

= Purpose =

<span style="font-size:medium;">Skills academy as the name itself suggests that its aim is to work with organizations who share and support the endeavour of improving people’s lives through skill development and sustainable employment solutions.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp;&nbsp;The reason why we have chose the skills academy as our resource is that the vision and mission of this resource inspired us that this resource can further make a change in other peoples life. The main motto of this venture is:</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''1.&nbsp;&nbsp; ''''''Aspiration and Awareness'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''2.&nbsp;&nbsp; ''''''Create Skilling Models and Create Job Networks'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''3.&nbsp;&nbsp; ''''''Empowering Youth and Paths to Progress'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''4.&nbsp;&nbsp; ''''''Operating Framework and Develop Frameworks'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''5.&nbsp;&nbsp; ''''''Deliver Experience'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">We thought that the work of skills academy can sort out the problems of the people who are uneducated or partially educated by empowering them with the development of their talents and skills.Hardly 20% of graduates of our country are job-ready. In this context skill enhancement becomes vital which provides assessment services to educational institutions, government organisations and corporate entities.Hence considering this issue where some graduated students are not capable enough to constantly develop innovative things and find solutions to complex problems which are main factors working behind the employability of an engineer has pushed us to opt for this resource as their goal is to build an institution that has the capability to train tens of thousands of people in all parts of &nbsp;our country specially those parts where jobs are hard to come by</span>.&nbsp;&nbsp;

= Distinct Differences From Other Offerings =

<span style="font-size:medium;">Profit-hungry managements, lack of skill education, focus on rote-learning methods, and shortage of faculty (both in quantity and quality) are the major issues plaguing higher education. Graduates are collecting their degrees despite not being skilled enough to be a productive part of the Indian economy.Regarding this issue of lack of skill education ,this skills academy is actually a boon to not only the students who are unemployed but also to people of poorer economies.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''The major and unique differences this resource exclusively yet extensively has are:'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp;</span>

#<span style="font-size:medium;">Skills development is not equated with formal technical, vocational and agricultural education and training alone, but is used more generally to refer also to the productive capacities acquired through all levels of education and training, occurring in formal, non-formal and on-the-job settings, which enable individuals in all areas of the economy to become fully and productively engaged in livelihoods and to have the opportunity to adapt these capacities to meet the changing demands and opportunities of the economy and labour market.</span>
#<span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp;Around 40+ centres were set up in Rural and Urban India which established significant reach and distribution along with strong network for job placements.[[File:DISTINCT DIFFERENCES FROM OTHER OFFERINGS.jpg|thumb|DISTINCT DIFFERENCES FROM OTHER OFFERINGS.jpg]]</span>
#<span style="font-size:medium;">In other words, skills development does not refer to the curricular or programme source of education or training itself but to the productive capacities that are acquired through these skills courses and programmes.</span>
#<span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp;But the utilization of these capacities needs the support of other private and public organisations and people especially students must be aware of these opportunities to change their lives in order to gain sustainable income,development and growth, stable economy and further inspires others also to do so.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''Success stories:-'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''[[File:ASHADEVI-SKILLS ACADEMY.jpg|thumb]]'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">'''Asha Devi-Healthcare Trainee'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">Asha,came from a community where women were not accepted when they raise their voice.Asha had gone through a traumatic period of married life with her husband.However ,she took courage to stand for herself and joined as a ”geriatric assistant” student in skills academy centre in Mamura.She is now earning 7.5k per month ,who is independent and confident.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp;'''&nbsp;Priyadarshini - IT Trainee&nbsp; &nbsp;'''</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">&nbsp;&nbsp; A girl is accepted by the in-laws only if they bring lump sum amount of money as bride.Priyadarshini showed her bravery that&nbsp; &nbsp;it can be no more in practise, when a girl is stubborn and confident enough to stand for herself.She gained this after getting trained in skills academy after which she was with a job and married as per her wish which is” dowry free”.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">1. There are at least 15 sectors in every skills academy centre with best services provided for training the youth.</span>

<span style="font-size:medium;">2. More than 45,000 students have been trained by the academy in the last 3 years and about 500,000 trainees would impact in 5 years.</span>
