There should be career centers in every village because village students did not know about careers other than engineering and doctor fields.Also there should be skill development in school and high school/college.One more thing in village most of the children (banjara samaj,farmer ..etc)are not interest to study because they did not importance of study.In village govt.school/college teacher must be chosen as per best qualification..Computer training program at school and college level

#CareerCentreDuty #CareerCentre Just like in US citizens have Jury Duty,each citizen shd be go to a CC for 2 days in a year and share their skill with participants. #NationalCareerService should have separate stream 1. Improve Current Skill 2. Learn New Skill For e.g. with e-commerce boom, less educated workers can be easily trained on 4 skills: 1. Improve Current Skill - Driving, Soft Skills 2. New Skill - PLanning Delivery Route, Using Smartphone apps, in a condensed 4-6 week course

There should be career centers in every state, town, city, village, etc which should impart not only skill development required by their states but also help in generating employment after the training & thus assist in placements which will help corporate india to get skilled labours & minimise their expenditure as no gestation period would be required after employing experienced labors.

Career center should be categorized such as 1. For students who completes 10th/SSC, so they can pick the skill oriented studies right from beginning. 2. For people who are goalless, they can be literate or illiterate. It should have programs depending on the Regions requirements, literacy ratio. For ex, Career center in Mumbai focusing on Manufacturing will not be as fruitful as Financial/IT program bcoz it is no more Manufacturing hub. Special focus is needed on Agriculture oriented program

This is an excellent idea.KUDOS to the Government. Please do study the system of skill development in the U.S and may be Japan which have proved their skills to the world. Especially the system of Community colleges in the U.S. is very impressive. In the U.S for e.g. a HairDresser, Carpenter, Plumber all have a certificate that they display in their shops or have it with them.

Sir, The idea of career centres is excellent.I'd suggest that employment exchanges should be operated in every village our country(Just like gram panchayats).It should be made SSC/10th everyone must enroll with these employment exchanges.Employment must be provided even in the private firms through employment exchanges only. A G.O in this regard must be issued by Central Govt,such that ail the private companies gets registered with these employment exchanges giving vacancies list

Dear sir , I welcome the decision for proposed career centers . I would like to suggest that these careers centers should not only be confined to cities , but these centers should be established for every villages which have population over 500 . These center should provide modular skill in every domain related to local requirement , the person attending career center should be given option for earn & learn scheme , where their skill & labour can be used for revenue generation.
