Skill development is a major concern and the problem has been analyzed by numerous experts: for a country that adds 12 million people to its workforce every year, less than 4 per cent have ever received any formal training. India’s workforce readiness is one of the lowest in the world and a large chunk of existing training infrastructure is irrelevant to industry needs.

There is no sole factor responsible for lack of skill development, but lack of monetary investment is one of them. It is a difficulty about grossly inefficient execution. The need of the hour is to improve resource utilization and find solutions that can address the systemic and institutional bottlenecks constraining the sector. Faber Infinite believes it is necessary to catalyze investments from the industry and support candidates in raising resources for training and also apply the investments in an appropriate way.

Time again top executives have raised concerns over the same. In a recent survey by leading publishing house 6 out of 10 CEOs voiced concerns relating to training and development efficacy. In another forum, 46% of the executives admitted that their workforce does not have the necessary skills required in the next 1 – 2 years.

All these pointers are alarming and needs to be addresses. It has severe impacts on business due to lack of skills, like

-Loss of business to competitors
-Loss of revenue
-Delay in product development
-Eroding customer satisfaction

And it is not that organizations are not investing in training and development. But the point is if it is done effectively and going in the correct direction.

The key question which arises is where to start from, how to design an effective skill development and analysis tool? And the most important is how to execute skill analysis program.
