Enhancing Employability through Skill Development Training among Youth in Mamit District
The project titled "Enhancing Employability through Skill Development Training among Youth in Mamit District" was launched with the primary goal of equipping the youth in Mamit District with market-relevant skills to enhance their employability. This initiative was spearheaded by the Office of the Deputy Commissioner, Mamit district, in collaboration with Mission Foundation Movement (MFM), a recognized NSDC Training Provider under NITI Aayog Window-1. The project focused on providing skill development training in job roles identified under the Beauty & Wellness and Furniture & Fittings Skill Councils, namely Assistant Beauty Therapist and Carpenter Wooden Furniture.
A significant challenge observed in many skill training programs is that upon completion, trainees often lack the necessary equipment and materials to kickstart their own ventures. This project sought to address this issue by not only imparting essential skills but also providing beneficiaries with basic equipment. This support aimed to enable them to utilize their training effectively and embark on livelihood opportunities.
Through this project, the goal was not just to train individuals but to empower them with the means to apply their newfound skills practically, thereby fostering self-reliance and economic independence within the community.
The job roles covered under the scheme include Beauty & Wellness and Carpenter Wooden Furniture, with 15 and 10 trainees successfully completing the training, respectively. The Certification and Equipment Distribution event was held on the 20th of December 2023 at the I&PR Auditorium, Field Veng, Mamit, under the chairmanship of Pu H. Darhmingliana. Each trainees received post training equipment worth Rs 35,000.
