Modus Operandi of Connect Signal: Our working process towards achieving our objectives are based on in-depth research on training needs. Our  training actions  make sense and produce outcomes. All our designed training programmes are based on training needs.  All training need are identified by involving various stakeholders i.e. Garment/ Home  furnishing/ Fashion product Manufacturers, Retailers, Local animators, Industry Experts and Govt. bodies.  Training programs are selected that have a high percentage of employment chances. In all selected training programmes, there is a chance for trained candidates to join a concerned industry within 20 Km distance. Or may opt for self employment activities from their home or villages. Hence training demands are also clearly identified and  objectives to be achieved are clearly  defined, resources are allocated and processes which lead to learning are carried out.

Social Partners in Skills Development: For the purpose of skills development, cooperation networks also include: regional and local authorities, different government ministries or departments, professional agencies, enterprises, trade unions, training institutions and providers, nongovernmental organizations, professional associations, community organizations, indigenous peoples, migrants’ organizations and others.

Partnerships for the provision of training are becoming more frequent in view of the need for updated programmes which are geared to the requirements of productive sectors and individuals. The private sector has often taken the initiative of seeking partnerships with training institutions, local governments, development agencies and other actors. Trade unions have recognised the importance of improving qualifications in order to maintain employability and have become involved in the process of change management. Suppliers of technical assistance, including the Connect  Signal, have become aware of the need to consider skills development and lifelong learning as part of a broader and more comprehensive approach to the development of sustainable enterprises and the promotion of equality in employment and decent work.

We also propose that in FY 2022-23 .Various Govt departments should be involved in our work with the support of Bosch India Social Engagement. As we have trained and strengthened the groups from where they can go forward with more impetus if Govt Helps.

Our training conducted in the last 3 years have developed economic and social outcomes and have significant value in the economic and social development of the villages. It finally explains the link between impact evaluation and decent work.

It is generally accepted that the State Level and  local level Government, after consultation with the social partners, is responsible for creating an adequate framework for meeting the current and future needs of individuals, enterprises and the whole society with regard to competencies, coordinating these with productivity, employment, development and decent work, and promoting a connection between current and future labor market demand and the qualifications required.
