Performance Assessment of MSSDS Skills Training Programme Some key concerns & way forward Regional disparity the skills training interventions are located in a few pockets, which are advanced locations in the state; Enrolment of female trainees at 33% is less than their share in the 15- 35 age cohort of the state; Concentration of trainees in a few trades, while their participation in other trades is very low; Lack of standard curricula, duration of course, absence of third party assessment and certifications and limited number of trades; Quality of training in terms of grades awarded shows average results; Sustainability of placed trainees is a key concern nearly 30 % trainees are placed as trainees ; Monthly wages and earnings for nearly 10 % of the placed trainees is less than the minimum wage of the state for skilled workers; While monitoring of skills training programme and performance reporting is appreciable for some of the PIAs, the same is not true for all. Dropout rates are low but needs to be minimised through counselling and better screening of candidates
