Curriculum to be revamped | Ministry of Labour and Human ...

Vocational Education:?To create better employment opportunities for technical and? vocational education and training (TVET) graduates, a training need analysis will be carried out over the next four months.

The training need analysis will be conducted by the private and public training institutes, so that courses will be designed to cater to the need and demand of TVET graduates in the job market.

Until now, labour officials said courses were designed in such a way that it often resulted in unemployment, due to mismatch of skills.

However, in the next four months, the training institutes will be visiting various private and corporate agencies to discuss? their demand from TVET graduates and coordinate? accordingly.

The training institutions will be using the labour market information guide and human resource series as reference, labour officials said.

There are over 70 training institutes in the country, which provide both long and short term trainings for Class X and XII school leavers.

Chief program officer, Sangay Dorji, said unemployment of TVET graduates resulted mainly due to the mismatch of skills and requirements in the labour market.

?The training institutes will have to understand the employable skills required in the job market,? he said.

For instance, IT training is an additional skill that enhances employment opportunities, Sangay Dorji said. ?We don?t want sophisticated courses,? he said. ?Such courses will just remain on paper.?

Henceforth, the human resource division of the labour department will also monitor all courses and curriculum the training institutes would offer.? The division will also review, validate, and endorse the courses and curriculum.

The designing of the course was discussed over a three-day training programme for training institutes last week, where most of them agreed it was necessary to design courses according to the job market.

The training on course design and development was conducted in collaboration with the Colombo Plan Staff College (CPSC) for technical education for in-country training program.

Niche Institute and Financial services CEO, Bimla Rai, said? there was a competition in the market, especially for courses such as commercial accounting. ?Some training institutions don?t get candidates at all,? she said.
