The career centers, should focus on having people who come from the industry and part their experiences, only then the participants are benefited with real world experience rather than the usual bookish stuff which is quite common. Make it a rule that every professional spends 30 mandatory hours per year at career centers, a carrot and stick policy does work well. Link this time spent towards career development to their own skills upgradation.

All High schools/Junior colleges with 11th and 12th education and degree colleges (both government and private) should have a career center. Job providers shall provide the list of various job profiles in their organization. This should be categorized based on job function and skill required. All senior students should be provided with analytic data on skills required for jobs they wish to do and suggest relevant courses. Job providers need not bother about background verification.

Proposed Career Centres should be started at District Level. Functions of the centre will be 1) to find available career opportunities (Education, Medicines, Business, Industries etc.) 2) to recognise skills which are required for joining these careers 3) link up with existing employment exchange centre to get list of eligible candidates 4) to provide them with required communication and trade skill 5) to place them in various organisations. Unemployed youths should be allowed to run the centre.

Entrance to these institutes should be made subject to certain qualification and more so conferment of WSQ certificates/diplomas, etc., should be made subject to rigorous test/examination and exams/test should be conducted by third . Big corporate houses (like Ambani’s, Tatas, Godrej, etc.) can be asked to operate NCC /NCCE/NCI as part of their CSR programmes, where the people from low income group can be subsidized.

The Centres should be operated only by pioneer institutions in the area. From the very beginning of the scheme the criteria should be all NCC /NCCE/NCI should be very stringent. To be eligible for NCC status, the Centre must demonstrate the ability to achieve outcomes, ensure organisation excellence and provide quality Workforce Skill Qualification (WSQ) programmes and services.
