...SKILL UP …strengthening the foundation … together we can & we will make the difference JUNE, 2016 TIKSNA MISSION TRUST Mumbai 2016 Created, 02/02/2015 Refined, 15/06/2016 1|Page Preface Make in India – a major new national program designed to facilitate investment, faster innovation, “Enhance Skill Development”, protect intellectual property & build best-in-class manufacturing infrastructure. Skill development in India is the call of this hour. Among the developing countries of the world, India has the highest potential to meet the skill gap with its large, young, English speaking population. The world shortage of skilled manpower will stand at approximately 56.5 million by 2020. With a target of skilling 500mn by 2020, India can not only fulfil its own requirements but can also cater to the labor shortages in other countries such as the U.S., France and Germany. Presently 80% of the workforce in India (both rural and urban) does not possess any identifiable or marketable skills$. Therefore, bridging this gap (through the various skill development initiatives) could make India the global hub for skilled manpower, and also result in a surplus of skilled manpower of approximately 47 million by 2020. Currently a major proportion of this population is not productively engaged in economic activities due to a ‘skills v/s jobs requirement’ mismatch. There are many skill development programs running to upskill but the kind of success is miniscule...

...Demand Versus Supply of Registered Nurses HCS/552 March 19, 2012 Jayme Carrico Demand Versus Supply of Registered Nurses Demand versus supply in the United States continues to be an issue with increasing shortages of registered nurses (RN) and the increasing demand for health care services. There is a higher demand for registered nurses because of the increase in population, aging baby boomers, and increase in chronic diseases. The shortage of registered nurses impacts the health status and quality of life of the population. Factors that impact health care are the importance of supplying adequate nursing personnel and retaining RN’s in the workplace. There is a need to provide resources to educate registered nurses along with recruiting future registered nurses. “Economists use the concepts of demand and supply to inquire how the quantity of services used changes as price changes” (Getzen, 2007, p. 24). The purpose of this paper is to discuss demand versus supply of registered nurses and the effects of consumer demand versus the economic variables of cost, access, and supply. Demand Registered nurses are in more demand than ever before because of the continued nursing shortages. Factors contributing to the shortages are advancements in technology, people are living longer, and the health care needs are more complicated. In the early years nurses were trained to take vital signs, administer shots, and insert catheters. Nurse training in the...

...Tuition Reimbursement Implementation Report Business is all about finding the right balance between performance, integrity and employee retention. “Success in business is seen as making profits and advancing private interest and having an unlimited ambition for money, position and power whereas the moral life by contrast, focuses on duties to others and places others’ interest over self,” said by M.V. Subbiah, Chairperson, National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC). The value of providing tuition reimbursement from a company such as ours is priceless to its employees and its shareholders. It may seem impartial advice, because I am one of those who would benefit from tuition reimbursement. As an active shareholder in my company and a working member of management I see the need for this benefit to be offered. By having benefits such as this one I believe that our company shall see a large return for its investment in education. Consider the following when addressing the question of tuition reimbursement: The retention of people and the decrease in turnover; improved performance within our organization; motivation for our associates to succeed; stronger promotions within our company. As a four year associate of our company I have found working at Wal-Mart to be one of the best choices of my life. I have come to work with long term associates who have dedicated so many years to a belief that we provide our customers the lowest prices and best customer service in retail....

...Report Assuring quality in education has been the goal of educators for centuries. According to UNICEF every child has a right to an Education. This is also supported by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) which says, “Every child has the right to an education which develops their personality, talents, and abilities to the fullest.” The Ministry of Education of Trinidad and Tobago along with UNESCO supports these objectives and worked together to develop programs that would address these issues. The Education Policy Paper (1993 – 2003) states, “Every child has an inherent right to an education that will enhance the development of maximum capability regardless of gender, ethnic, economic, social or religious background.” One project that has been agreed upon is Education for All. Education for All has as one of its goals ‘improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that recognized and measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all, especially in literacy, numeracy and essential life skills.” This goal can only be achieved through the ‘delivery of a systemof quality education to students at all levels of the education system.’ In order to provide quality education to students it is important that all stakeholders play an active role in the education process. Therefore it is important that teachers continually upgrade and develop their skills to be able to identify and properly meet the needs of students. The ministry...
