VOCATIONALIZATION

• The market rationale includes a demand-driven
  orientation, introducing short cycle Courses and
  emphasis on vocationalization.
• Foreign educational institutions operating in
  India are offering vocational courses.
• Industry experts become part of regular faculty
  imparting highly current and industry relevant
  knowledge to students
• Students under industry collaborated courses are
  already treated as trainee employees.
• Academic supervised Industry Internship
• Certificate, Diploma and Degree options at B.Voc
  allows the Industry to get employees at the
  grass-root level, supervisory level and
  managerial levels thereby increasing the
  employment opportunities available to the
  students.

30
Eco-System required for growth

• Exchange opportunities to be allowed by
  University for B.Voc students
• Foreign Collaboration with Vocational training
  institutions abroad
• Industry associations like CII, Chamber of
  Commerce to encourage intake of B.Voc students
• Eligibility norms of Public Sector Undertaking,
  Govt to include B.Voc
• Local Industry demands vocational streams in
  several disciplines
