As, a Human
Resource (HR) Development company we believe that people are
investors of their own human capital. Organizations simply rent it.
Vocational training and Career Development programs are the most
effective leverage to increase Human Capital Value. The mismatch
between what schools are producing and what economies need is not
only causing talent shortages at the top but also structural
unemployment for the low-skilled”
A recent Documentary series in BBC was named “School’s out Skills’
in”. It documented the lives of a few students around the world who
chose to undertake vocational training education instead of a
Collegiate Degree to start their professional lives. Featured were a
Commi-chef in Beijing (just in the time for the tourist influx for
the Olympics ), a diamond cutter in London, a piano maker in Leipzig
,an animation cartoonist in Tokyo, an air-stewardess in Delhi and an
electrician in LA.
It highlighted the importance of Vocational trainings and people
with such skills for the modern economy. The employability can
hardly be exaggerated. The cultural stigma of viewing Vocational
educational as a poor relative of academic Studies is therefore
wrong.
There are a slew of Government and Quasi Government initiatives in
this field in Nepal (We haven’t mentioned other Private sector firms
because they are too inconsequential). We, as a private sector
enterprise are a different knowledge unit. We have to make sure that
our students are employable. For us, there is no point teaching a
course which is of no use to businesses.
Courses are therefore specially designed around the requirements of
jobs “in the actual workplace circumventing academic conventions
with an effective, modern approach.
In the face of globalization, technological changes, changing skill
requirements and labor shortages, HR departments of companies around
the world are grappling with the effects of The Changing World of
Workforce .Demographic shifts in Developed economies and skilled
labor shortages in developing ones (especially Asia and the Middle
East) have spurred companies to vet their net much wider. Talent and
skill is transgressing international borders as much as goods and
services.
We want to present this myriad of opportunities to the Nepali
educated labor force. |
