Modular Employable Skills (MES)

Under Skill Development Initiative Scheme (SDIS)
The Ministry of Labour & Employment Govt. of India has introduced Modular Employable Skills (MES) under Skills Development Initiative Scheme (SDIS), which targets school leavers, existing workers and ITI graduates is a revolutionary step in promoting this. The programme aims to improve the employability of people who possess or have acquired skills but lag behind due to changing requirements of a trade. A check and balance system is put in place by keeping the training provider and the assessment body independent of each other.

The main objective of the scheme is to provide employable skills to school leavers, existing workers, ITI graduates, etc. Existing skills of the persons can also be tested and certified under this scheme. For more details on MES please visit www.dget.gov.in
