  16. WHY IKP-LABS PARTNERSHIP • GOVERNMENT PERSPECTIVE: • High unemployment among youth • Social problems • Trainings not market linked • COMPANY PERSPECTIVE • Emerging service sector opportunities • Skill gap at entry level jobs • High attrition rates and higher income expectations

  17. A CASE STUDY • Raju 21, painter in Bhongir • Mother : SHG member; father marginal farmer • Private school duped by the head master • 10th standard back to painting • Mother informs him of market linked training • Today Pizza Hut, upmarket Banjara Hills drawing Rs. 36,000 annually

  19. IMPACT : Policy • IKP-LABS (RURAL LABS MODEL) PILOTTED BY IKP • Government of India: • Based on the IKP-LABS rural model, initiated Grameen Labs with DRF in 4 states and this year plans a contract to do 1,45,000 Jobs nationally including 10,000 in Andhra Pradesh.

  20. IMPACT ON TRAINED YOUTH • Achieve Self-Confidence/self-esteem • Move to better opportunities without project help • Frustrations channelised to aspiration fulfillment • Addresses vulnerability (non-agricultural) • Improvement in their quality of life • Feel good contributing to family income: * Increased awareness of outside opportunities and information

  21. IMPACT : Girls • For girls : save money for marriage • Better marriage/divorce stopped • Social respect for girls increased: not just housewives • Send remittances home through money orders

  22. IMPACT: PARENTS • Family prestige goes up with children's white collared job • Indebtedness less due to certainty of income flow and clear old debts • Savings made in chit funds, banks • Surplus for younger children education • Well being increases due to extra money for health expenditure and food security

  23. VO LEADERS PERCEPTIONS • VO’s motivated parents to send children to the trainings • Focused on girls • Proud girls are working in Hyderabad in computer firms • Program is good as youth are sending money to parents for household consumption and savings by chits • If unemployed, youth will waste time watching TV and ungainful activities • Sufficient notice must be given to VOs to motivate more youth

  24. UNCOVERED VILLAGES/YOUTH: Experience • Acute poverty : Need stipend (Gadepally) Training centre Kazipet • Rs.275 insufficient. No buses .Have to travel by autos • Construction workers willing to forgo wages for such market-linked trainings • Counseling needed to motivate youth that they can do white collared jobs • Control villages: 50 unemployed youth in village with 500 families. No information. Willing to send them for training- Bibinagar

  25. EMPLOYERS PERCEPTION • Motivated employees • “Better than MBA” Citi Bank • Micro irrigation: more practical training to be given so that youth need not work as trainee. Dropouts occur because of low trainee salary • Automobile industry: Youth move out to set out their own mechanical shop. Latent entrepreneurial skills unleashed

  26. DISTRICT OFFICIALS PERCEPTIONS • Addresses social problems in RAIV; hence police cooperate • Impacts the next generation of SHGs • Definite change in youth in change from rude to polished behavior, dress sense and become role model for others • Partnership good since govt. cannot do market linked training • Converge with other related govt. depts for this program

  27. CHALLENGES • Dropouts in multi skilled workers and nursing due to lower salaries • Tracking youth difficult as they do not inform about job changes • Lack of accommodation in metros poses a problem

  28. DRF PERCEPTION • Strength of the partnership: • Both IKP & DRF have common vision of providing sustainable livelihoods to the poor • Large network of SHGs of IKP-mobilisation of really vulnerable facilitated • Weakness of partnership compared to Upadhi/Grameen • Decentralised approach –funding delays • Planning difficult for faculty/placements-makes implementation difficult

  29. Way Ahead • Lessons for LABS: • Drop trades with low incomes like multi skilled workers • Include practical in trades like micro irrigation to avoid internships with low salaries • Mentor enterprises for trained youth by facilitating credit –videography/photography

  30. Lessons for District Functionaries • Systematic approach of budget flow and MOU signing • Treat DRF as partners and stakeholders not mere trainers • Putting in place counseling facilities at VO level to encourage especially girls to take up better opportunities in metros

  31. Lessons for District Functionaries • For scaling, appoint at least 2 staff dedicated to jobs in districts • Centralized MOU/payment to partner for better quality and planning • Half way homes in Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai need to be urgently set up to prevent dropouts *Youth can stay in half-way homes for three months with escalating rent till they find their feet

  32. PLANS 2006-8

  33. Budget/Targets • 2006-8 1,50,000 jobs • 2006-7 Rs. 30 crores 68,200 jobs IKP-LABS 18,200 (GOI,DFID,IKP) Security 16,900 Textiles 22,000 District models/JKC/Kiosk/pilots/it-rural 12,000 Budget requirement for 2007-8 Rs. 40 crores

  34. LAs in place, 2 per district • CRPs-15 in star districts and 8 in others Designed training modules for LAs and CRPs For CRPs, focus is on counselling, motivation, communication , work planning * Strong building blocks for scaling up

  35. English and soft skills module: Detailed plan made Fund requirement Rs. 20 crores Quantum jump in employability • Employment exchanges become livelihood hubs • Link with Jobs search engines • Bringing poor closer to the markets
