We proud to be a Training hub partner with Tata Institute of Social Science- School of Vocational Education, for B.VOC Course.
In December 2011, Tata Institute of Social Sciences set up the School of Vocational Education (SVE) to provide immediate and definite interventions to improve the skill levels of millions of youth, through appropriate vocational training programmes. The target beneficiaries include organized and unorganized workforce across the industries and SVE aims to cover every individual who needs to develop employable skills. A vision of creating an ecosystem that would bring back the dignity of labour to all professions and occupations to create sustainable sources of income for the blue collar workforce and youth in the country.
MODEL: The approach adopted by TISS-SVE is called the Work Integrated Training Programme (WITP). The Vocational Educational Programme is being implemented for the first time in India with a focus on job-specific skills rather than providing only a broad knowledge based education.
MISSION, VISION AND AIM
Mission
Offer equal opportunities to ALL thereby enabling the youth to unleash their latent potential.
Vision
To facilitate the youth, especially the first generation learners to take up industry relevant skill training that will help them in securing a better livelihood, thereby consequently enhancing the economy of the nation.
Aim
The aim is ‘Earn while you learn’. The model enables the students to learn the skills by engaging in on-the-job training at real shop floor of the industry/company along with theory training in the classroom. Through the model, the trainee may also earn a modest stipend during on-the-job training of the course. Although, this is not mandatory for any institution, TISS-SVE strongly encourages its Skill Knowledge Providers (SKPs) to adopt this practice.
TISS-SVE currently offers several programmes beginning with a Diploma course and leading to Bachelor of Vocational Degree [B. Voc] in three years. Every individual level / year is a stand-alone certification recognised and awarded by TISS as deemed to be a university.
These programmes allow the students after their 12th standard or equivalent; to join directly at NSQF Level 5, based on their academic achievements.
Target Audience:
The target group for these programmes are largely marginalized youth who are seeking non-formal educational methods to enhance earning capabilities and thereby improve their livelihood conditions. B. Voc. programmes follow flexibility and progression in education, as elaborated:
Student eligibility criteria for B.Voc.:
a) HSC / equivalent OR
b) SSC 2years of ITI
These Programmes are for the professionals or (in some cases fresh graduates) who seek to enhance earning capabilities through upgradation of skills which are in demand in industry. The duration of these courses will range from a few weeks up to under a year. Depending on the duration, the certification awarded will be titled as Diploma or Certificate.
