Introduction
  • Nepal is an agricultural country having poor
    economic base and diverse topographical situation
  • The agricultural sector, where more than 80
    percent of the labour force is involved, is
    contributing almost 40 percent to the national
    GDP
  • Non-Nepali workers are displacing the Nepali
    workers both in formal as well as informal sector
  • Large numbers of Nepalese are suffering from
    unemployment and underemployment.
  • The income and labour situation is becoming
    alarming

Facts figures

  • ? Manufacturing 7.71
  • Underemployment as the percentage of labour force
    is 4.1 - 4.8 in urban and 4. 0 in rural areas

Trends in the Labour market
  • Lack of overall planning in labour market
  • Most basic data on employment and the labour
    force are either lacking or unreliable
  • Lack of statistics on labour market information
  • The productivity of labour is very low
  • Assessment of labour market condition in Nepal
    depends on analytical judgment
  • A recent study showed that the unemployment rate
    among persons with a School Leaving Certificate
    (SLC) or higher education to be 39 for the age
    groups 25-29 years and 20 for the age group 30
    years and older

Labour Market Industrial Manpower Training
System
  • The labour situation in Nepal is characterized by
    rapidly growing labour forces (more than 3 per
    annum)
  • Insufficient growth in employment generation,
    particularly in non-agricultural sectors
  •   Public sector employment is also disappointing
    due to administration reform programmes
  • Women population into the labour market is
    increasing due to the change of economic base
    from agriculture to industry.

Labour Market Industrial Manpower Training
System
Contd.
  • Nepalese Enterprises are even now experiencing
    problems in the labour market concerning
    competitiveness, motivation, creativity and
    labour flexibility
  • Enterprises face more challenges than ever
  • The productivity, competitiveness, motivation and
    creativity of workforce are deteriorating because
    of the lack of appropriate education and
    training.

8
Technical Education and Vocational Training
  • To overcome the shortages of unskilled and
    semiskilled manpower, comprehensive technical and
    vocational education has been introduced in the
    country.
  • People benefit from the provision of special
    training programmes aimed at updating skills and
    bringing them into closer conformity with local
    labour market needs.

9
Present Scenario
  • Vocational and technical training is poorly
    developed
  • Lack of coordination and linkage between users
    and producers (industries and training
    institutions)
  • Lack of manpower planning and mechanisms for the
    systematic and regular assessment of the
    requirements of modern industries and business .
  • Absence of such mechanisms makes it difficult to
    devise the training system to respond to the
    skill shortages faced by the industrial sector.
  • The areas of vocational education and training,
    personal development and foreign employment until
    now have operated in isolation. This is due to
    lack of overall planning, labour market
    information and coordination.

10
Idea of Trade School
  • Considering the present scenario of the nation,
    FNCCI came up with an idea or concept of
    establishing the "Trade Schools" in the year
    2003.
  • to develop and conduct quality and demand driven
    (need based) training programs/packages
  • expected high placement rate of trainees as a new
    employee and enhance capacity of working
    (employed) labor force due to our CCI and local
    Businessmen (Private Sector) validated training
    programs

11
Idea of Trade School Contd..
  • Covers the basic and advanced theory and
    laboratory practice required to provide the
    successful trainees with the necessary skills for
    entry-level positions as well as on the job
    training for semi or unskilled youths including
    male and female.
  • Provide technical and employment oriented
    training

12
Goal and Achievement
  • The goal of establishing the Trade School (Ilam
    Prasikchan Kendra) is already achieved in Five
    Development Regions with the initiative of FNCCI
  • Five Trade Schools established in
    Damak,Nuwakot,Taulihawa,Surkhet and Kanchanpur to
    address the problem of unemployment through
    conducting employment oriented training to the
    unemployed youths of the districts.

Goal and Achievement (contd)
  • employment oriented skill training on different
    trades is imparted to 1000 unemployed young men
    and women so far.
  • productivity of business, industry and
    entrepreneurs through skill training is enhanced.

15
Objectives of the Trade School
  • To develop and implement the concept of
    public-private partnership
  • Conduct training for unskilled local people to
    enhance their skill from unskilled to
    semi-skilled
  • Open job opportunities in national and
    international level (including India)
  • Necessary agreements and mechanism have been made
    between Government, CTEVT, and FNCCI. Working
    modalities for each trade school have also been
    designed.

Benefits
  • Employment Generation Basic and semi-medium
    level manpower are generating in different
    regions, hence opening job opportunities for the
    individuals
  • Income Job-opportunities with the skill
    upgrading generate more income for themselves
    and their families.
  • Enhancement of Productivity The trade school
    will enhance the country's economy boosting up
    its GDP.
  • Skill Development Non-skilled student can hence
    possess semi-skill and can further improve their
    skills.
  • Enhancement of DCCI's Capability District
    Chamber of Commerce and Industry's (DCCI's)
    capability will improve by holding such
    activities and can link the job opportunity for
    the skilled man power.

18
Finance and sustainability of Trade School
(provision)
  • Contribution by HMG/N as a seed grant (as a
    revolving fund)
  • Investment by FNCCI and DCCI
  • Users fee/Training fee
  • Contribution of Donors and NGOs/INGOs/Individuals
  • Coordination with donor organization for seeking
    fund and assistance by synergy effect means 225

19
Main Thrust of the Trade School
  • Quality
  • Flexibility and Innovative training packages
  • Demand driven training (Need based)
  • Targets for Employment and Self-Employment
  • Provide approximately Skilled workforce
  • Sustainability Approach

20
Partnership with NRN Community and Linkage with
International TEVT Institutions.
  • In view of these main thrust there is a need to
    develop partnership scheme with International
    TEVT Institutions. Following suggestions can be
    made to develop partnership scheme in the areas
    of skill training and skill bench marking.
  • Community like NRN with their linkages and
    expertise can provide technical assistance to
    update the latest trend of skill bench marking as
    well as skill development in the pace of
    technology changing context.

21
Contd
  • It is necessary to make demand assessments of the
    different types of technical/skilled manpower
    required by enterprises, their current
    availability and projections of future. This
    should help Trade School to design training
    module and start course in those areas that are
    highly demanded by industries.

22
Suggestions to Develop Partnership
Scheme Contd.
  • The government and training institutions like
    CTEVT has become the main producers of manpower.
    In view of the rapid growth of private sector
    investment, strong partnership between private
    sector, NRN, government and CTEVT is needed.
  • A comprehensive system for providing labour
    market information system is lacking, especially
    in vocational and technical sector. Partnership
    scheme in this area should move ahead.
  • Coordination with vocational education and
    training, personal development and foreign
    employment
