Vocational education in India

 

 

Introduction

As India moves toward becoming a $5 trillion economy, the demand for skilled workers is rapidly increasing. Traditional degrees alone are no longer enough. The real game-changer? Vocational education—hands-on training that builds practical skills for real jobs.

At NCVTE, we believe that skill-based learning is the foundation of national growth.


What is Vocational Education?

Vocational education focuses on:

  • Job-specific technical skills
  • Hands-on practical training
  • Short-term certifications
  • Industry-relevant curriculums

It’s designed to make learners employmentready from day one.
