Corporate Social Responsibility in Skilling

Abstract

Skilling is an important agenda for India in the coming few years. To meet the demands of the growing industry, skilled manpower is required. The existing skill training institutes especially for technical skills are not well equipped in terms of capacity and manpower to handle the growing demand for skills. Alternative training models need to be promoted–private or public-private partnerships. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is one way in which skill training needs of the population can be met. In this article we explore how lack of credible certification in skill training can lead to adverse selection in the labour market. This is shown through findings from a study of students trained in ITIs and those trained by a corporate as part of their CSR.
