Skill Hubs are nodal skill centres identified to provide skill development and vocational training opportunities to target population segments from class 6-8th (introduction to world-of-work through orientation, industry visits, bag-less days), 9th to 12th (aimed at exposing students to skill development avenues), school dropouts and out-of-education (aimed for academic credit, mainstreaming back to education and or apprenticeship and employment linkages).
Over a period of time these Skill Hubs will associate with adjoining education and skilling institutions (spokes) over a district, or a cluster of adjacent districts, to provide access to skill development training at hub location or at spoke location.
Such adjoining institutions in the vicinity of the Skill Hub may leverage the infrastructure and resources available at the associated Hub for their In-school, drop-outs and out-of-education candidates in the 15-29 age cohort.
