Recruit – Train - Deploy (R-T-D)

Model at West Bengal.

The large population of underprivileged youth residing in urban slums either completely lack or possess negligible vocational skills, which prevents them from taking advantage of the vast employment opportunities in the cities of India. Therefore, despite of high growth in Indian economy, the slum youth remain unemployed or under-employed. Skill’s training is the one of the most powerful tools for making ever lasting impact on the lives of these young people by making them self-reliant and take role in building an economically developed country.

The Skill Development Programs focus on setting up training centres in the rural areas with an aim to benefit its resident unemployed youth. A Skill Development Centre provides vocational training on the basis of industry demand, with the objective of generating employment in the organized industries to this youth group.

Present scenario of West Bengal, particularly after COVID pandemic & resultant lockdown has huge impact in terms of job as well as suitable opportunity of rural youths as they are eager to get a job to survive and stay with their family members at their home town. To come out from this situation Recruit Train and Deployment is the most suitable model which can help these rural youths to get employed near to their home town. Recruitment and Training is one of the main functions of the human resource management department. Training refers to a systematic process through well-equipped, trade specific setup where candidates are instructed and taught matters of social as well as technical knowledge related to their interest area, basic education and industry demand. It focuses and motivates candidates to develop their skill, behaviour, manners and etiquettes required for work place.

(Training Approach & Methodology)-Uniqueness of proposed training

Interactive Methods

There are many ways that can break up training sessions and keep trainees attentive and involved, including:

Quizzes. For long, complicated training, periodical break to administer brief quizzes on information presented to that point. The begin sessions with a prequiz and let participants know there will also be a follow-up quiz. Trainees will stay engaged in order to improve their prequiz scores on the final quiz. Further motivate participants by offering awards to the highest scorers or the most improved scores.

Small group discussions. Break the participants down into small groups and give them case studies or work situations to discuss or solve. This is a good way for knowledgeable veteran employees to pass on their experience to newer employees.

Case studies. The new tend to bring a problem-oriented way of thinking to workplace training. Case studies are an excellent way to capitalize on this type of learning. By analysing real job-related situations, trainees can learn how to handle similar situations. They can also see how various elements of a job work together to create problems as well as solutions.

Active summaries. Create small groups and have them choose a leader. Ask them to summarize the lecture’s major points and have each team leader present the summaries to the class. Read aloud a prewritten summary and compare this with participants’ impressions.

Q & A sessions. Informal question-and-answer sessions are most effective with small groups and for updating skills rather than teaching new skills. For example, some changes in departmental procedure might easily be handled by a short explanation by the supervisor, followed by a question-and-answer period and a discussion period.

Question cards. During the lecture, ask participants to write questions on the subject matter. Collect them and conduct a quiz/review session.

Role-playing. By assuming roles and acting out situations that might occur in the workplace, employees learn how to handle various situations before they face them on the job. Role-playing is an excellent training technique for many interpersonal skills, such as customer service, interviewing, and supervising.

Participant control. Create a subject menu of what will be covered. Ask participants to review it and pick items they want to know more about. Call on a participant to identify his or her choice. Cover that topic and move on to the next participant.

Demonstrations. Whenever possible, bring tools or equipment that are part of the training topic and demonstrate the steps being taught or the processes being adopted.

Placement

All domain specific training programs of Prudential Infotech Limited are structured to provide equal weightage to both the theory and practical aspects. Just like theory the practical domain knowledge is necessary for better acceptability in the real -time industry. That’s the reason for equal focus on the both the parts. Hands on training provided as a part of practical sessions.

Domain industry expert and highly experienced trainers are there to train and guide you throughout the training program. They train by interactive sessions on the average 4-6 hours training is held each day such is the depth and intensity. Candidates have freedom to choose from the above-mentioned customized training module, the choice would depend what they wanted to learn.

Placement Tracking Mechanism

We tracked the candidates placed through our mobiliser/alumni coordinator placed at each centre. The tracking was on a weekly basis for the initial 4 months after candidate placement and from the 5th month onwards it was once in a month. The mobiliser/alumni coordinator contacted and motivated the students through their mobile phones or any social media on a monthly basis. In case the mobiliser/alumni coordinator was unable to track the candidate through this mode, alternate channels like other candidates placed in the same organisation or living in the neighbourhood of the candidates were contacted or contact the HR of the organisation. In spite of the said activities, if the candidate could not be tracked, the mobiliser/alumni coordinator would make a personal visit to residence of the candidate to get the required information and provide necessary support.

Post Placement Assistance

We offered one year monitoring of the candidate along with providing access to higher qualification and better market opportunities. The support is offered through the Community framework to allow candidates to access higher skills, qualifications, better job profiles and higher salaries.

We have included in our training industry visits, hands on practical, short internships, training of trainers by working professionals, and use of each other’s infrastructure. Our alumni’s working with best known industries. All the above-mentioned trades are now a days are having a huge requirement and we do have tie up with the various organisation throughout pan India for wage employment. As a result, as and when the candidates get trained, they shall immediately get a placement from various organisation immediate basis. We have close partnership with large numbers of employers, where they are employing large numbers of employees.

The market scan concentrated on the skill – knowledge – attitude matrix. This brought clarity on the course content which would directly lead to employment/placements. In order ensure that placement process did not begin at the end of the training programme, there was constant interaction between the industry and the students through the field assignments and on the job training. Campus interview for placements is now a growing trend. The retention percentage of the trainees at the end of one year post placement tracking period is 77%. The contributing factors to this retention rate are providing placements nearest to their locations and identification of candidates who need this opportunity. We do believe that focused skill development needs to prepare a candidate for the world of work, for employment. Once a trained candidate is employable, the employment would also depend on the people requirements of the industry. In India a significant demand-supply mismatch, with supply, outmatching the people needed.

We are looking forward to long term association with PBSSD to make rural, semi-urban and urban youths of West Bengal employable for their sustainable livelihoods with their family members and overall socio-economic growth of the society.
