VOCATIONALIZATION

The market rationale includes a demand-driven orientation, introducing short cycle
Courses and emphasis on vocationalization.

Foreign educational institutions operating in India are offering vocational courses.

Industry experts become part of regular faculty imparting highly current and industry
relevant knowledge to students

Students under industry collaborated courses are already treated as trainee
employees.

Academic supervised Industry Internship

Certificate, Diploma and Degree options at B.Voc allows the Industry to get employees
at the grass-root level, supervisory level and managerial levels thereby increasing the
employment opportunities available to the students.
Eco-System required for growth
• Exchange opportunities to be allowed by University for B.Voc
students
• Foreign Collaboration with Vocational training institutions
abroad
• Industry associations like CII, Chamber of Commerce to
encourage intake of B.Voc students
• Eligibility norms of Public Sector Undertaking, Govt to include
B.Voc
• Local Industry demands vocational streams in several
disciplines
