Abstract
Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) is a short-term skill development program in India aiming to train young job seekers, make them employable, facilitate employment and to revitalize vocational education in India. Based on this premise, this paper explores young people’s perceptions on the employability skills acquired during the training and the possible linkages between emplpyability skills and actual emplpyemnt status post training. It was found that trainees’ perception of employability skills largely consisted of generic skills that are transferable to different sectors across many job roles. This also reflects the nature of employability skills that is most prevalent in the job market. It was also observed that more graduates were employed post training compared to school drop outs and respondednts who have only completed school. This also reflects the changing dynamics of the cohorts that are enrolling themselves into vocational education and training programmes. It concludes that PMKVY can provide a space for trainees to learn employability skills and Short- term training programmes deserves their space in the VET ecosystem in India. It may not be a perfect program but has the potential to transform the skill landscape of India at a time when India is being challenged with the demographic dividend. The implications are wide ranging with the potential of enriching the discourse on employability in India and look at different models of employability beyond just job acquisition.
