Enhancing Skill Development Through Learning Aids


Transformation

Indias Current Skill Development Initiatives Faces a Number of Challenges

350 Million people need to be provided with


skills that would give them employment
Demand for skills is con=nuously changing in
eco-system

Current Training Programs have focused on


content and assessments.
We follow a one-size ts all approach.

Training programs eec=veness is


signicantly constrained by ability of learners
to comprehend and internalize.
Not All Learners are the same.

Indias Current Skill Development Initiatives Faces a Number of Challenges


Human learn through the
three main sensory
receivers: Visual, Auditory,
and Kinesthetic(movement)
Learners use all three
modalities to receive and
learn new information and
experiences.

Did you notice...?


Why did that happen?
Does that happen in life?
Why does that happen?
How can you use that?

It is found that visual presentation


through the use of pictures was
advantageous for all adults,
irrespective of a high or low IQ
levels
Experiential learning is the process
of making meaning from direct
experience. This triggers the learners
into questioning:

The current training methods and tools are inadequate

Heavy Dependency on
Skill Of Trainer

Not All Training


Infrastructure is
Uniformly equipped

Training Aids are


restricted to course
books and flip charts

Integrating Visual & Experiential learning


to develop aids, that could be used to teach
people.

Challenges with
Current Training
Pedagogy

Restricted Budgets for


training limit ability to use
video and other tools

Since the majority of people have a low


educational level. We felt a need to develop
learning aids, that would facilitate easy
understanding of the skill.

Poor Infrastructure makes


it hard to effectively use
technology

Focus of Aids is not on


helping internalize
concepts

As a pilot project we developed aids that


could be used to teach people the basic
principles related to shutter carpentry.
The kit was developed after researching and
understanding the problems faced by
trainers as well as students across India
The kit is being designed and developed by a
team of designers who are also educators,
considering the cognitive and behavioural
psychology of a learner

We have invested R&D efforts to create a kit that enables experiential


learning
Advantages of our kit
Images of our kit

Effective learning without dependency on literacy / schooling


Learning from an authorized body is more reliable so getting a
labor who is trained in such a way is advantageous too
It is more scientific than informal training that happens on
location
Learning from peer and sharing with peers is important in a
learning environment
Group activity gains more motivation than training alone
Exposure to correct techniques, conducive learning and thinking
environment
Increased confidence level
Experiential & visual learning
Learning by playing is very effective. Here the puzzles help in
memorizing the facts in a very curious and engaging way.
Similarly the scaled down working models which the candidates
can work with helps them understand concepts and even
nuances in a very easy way. It allows them to commit mistakes
which is very important in learning .

We believe we can scale up our R&D efforts and create a sustainable venture
for building out learning aids
Our Proposed Plan
Our current pilot project is for shuttering carpentry. We have on boarded a team of designers and intend to design kits for all our
other 60 courses.
The kits will be built by micro-enterprise we intend to set up in Coimbatore. This enterprise will also give an opportunity to employ
skilled manpower from our livelihood centers.

Scale Up

SCALE
UP

We intend to set up a Micro Enterprise in


Coimbatore
The Micro Enterprise will be established
with the sole aim of manufacturing of
learning aids
This enterprise will employee people
trained from our livelihood center

Market Need Beyond LabourNet


There are no such learning aids available in the skill development eco-system today.
NIMI and other agencies only offer course books and course guides
There is an opportunity for this enterprise to be sustainable because of the demand in the market

We need support to help develop more such aids and scale it out

Our Asks

The basic machineries required would be machines that could be used with
materials such as wood, metal, plastic etc
Some of the machines would be Drilling machine, Lathe machine, Hand
injection moulding, etc
We would require approximately 5000sqft of space to setup the
machineries.
Skilled manpower could be trained to help in the development of these kits.
Women can also be employed.
The total investment required would be around 100 lakhs for land and
infrastructure development.
The present kit cost around Rs.12,000 which includes the production,
material & labour cost.
If we manufacture the kits in bulk using machineries we can bring down the
cost of manufacture.

Our Requirement

INR 100,00,000/- To Set Up a Sustainable Micro-Enterprise in Coimbatore to Manufacture Kits


Marketing and Branding Support to Promote the Kits
