The National Skill Certification and Monetary Reward Scheme

" A large number of youth must be motivated to voluntarily join

skill development programmes. I propose to ask the National Skill Development Corporation to set the curriculum and standards for training in different skills. . At the end of the training, the candidate will be required to take a test conducted by authorized certification bodies. Upon passing the test, the candidate will be given a certificate as well as a monetary reward of an average of Rs. 10,000 per candidate. Skill-trained youth will give an enormous boost to employability and productivity. I hope that this will be the trigger to extend skill development to all the youth of the country.

Does trainee need to pay for the training?

Trainee will need to pay the training and assessment fees upfront to the Training Provider. Upon certification, instruction will be sent to lead bank (SBI) to credit the monetary award to the registered account number within 10 days. However, the trainee is expected to pay a minimum of Rs.1000 (assessment fees) of the course fee upfront, which would be reimbursed on successful course completion and certification. The trainee would provide a signed undertaking to have taken remaining (whole/some ) amount of training fees on credit and the same amount be reimbursed to the training partner upon successfully clearing the assessment.

Who would do the assessment

SSC appointed Assessment Agencies, independent of the training provider, will facilitate the assessment and report back results for certification and bank transfer, if certified. A candidate can undergo assessment any number of times for qualifying for a particular job role, at any approved assessment agency by paying the assessment fee each time. A candidate has to undergo formal training as a prerequisite for assessment.

*Example
Any partner who is able to get students to pay whole or part of the Rs.8,000 course fee in advance over and above the Rs.1,000/assessment fee would be paid 50% of the course fee advance money with a ceiling of Rs.2,000/- for every candidate. This would be paid within 7 working days of the batch being registered with NSDC / SSC. Case1: Partner enrolls a batch of 50 students with Rs.1,000/- assessment fee + Rs.2,000/- advance towards course fee. And 40 students pass the assessment. Partner will be paid 50% of Rs.2,000 i.e. Rs.1,000 x 50 students = Rs.50,000/- within 7 days of the batch being registered Partner will be paid the remaining (Rs.3,000 Rs.1,000 = Rs.2,000) Rs.2,000/- x 40 students who pass = Rs.80,000/within 7 working days of EP receiving money for the candidates who pass i.e. Partner would get a total of Rs.1,30,000 on the entire batch 50 students Case2: Partner enrolls a batch of 50 students with Rs.1,000/- assessment fee + Rs.5,000/- advance towards course fee. And 40 students pass the assessment. Partner will be paid the maximum ceiling of Rs.2,000 x 50 students = Rs.1,00,000/- within 7 days of the batch being registered Partner will be paid the remaining (Rs.3,000 Rs.2,000 = Rs.1,000) Rs.1,000/- x 40 students who pass = Rs.40,000/within 7 working days of EP receiving money for the candidates who pass i.e. Partner would Rs.1,40,000 on the entire batch of 50 students. Therefore Partners who get more upfront money gets higher payouts and also gets more money in advance. Cash discount for students: Students, who are ready to pay 100% of the course fee (of Rs.8,000/- ) in advance along with the Rs.1,000/- assessment fee, will be give a 25% discount on the course fee. Hence the net payable by the student will be Rs.6,000/- course fee + Rs.1,000/- assessment fee. In this case the student gets to keep Rs.3,000/- of the Reward Money even after all expenses. Partner payout will remain similar to the above structure for this case. i.e. The Partner will get Rs.2,000 upfront payment f or every student registered and remaining Rs.1,000/- per student who passes after receipt of money from NSDC
