Skilling for Success: Evaluating the Impact of Skill Development on Rural Youth Employment

Skill development programs are essential for empowering rural youth and improving their future prospects. These programs play a crucial role in bridging the gap between available opportunities and the skills possessed by young individuals in rural communities. Often marginalized and lacking access to quality education and training, rural youth face significant challenges in securing stable and well-paying employment. Addressing this disparity through targeted skill development initiatives is crucial for fostering inclusive economic growth and social progress. Young people in rural areas also struggle to build productive and satisfying careers due to limited access to quality education and a lack of relevant job skills. This can lead to unemployment and persistent poverty. Skill development programs offer a vital solution by providing these young individuals with the skills they need to succeed in today's economy. This study examines the impact of these programs on rural youth, exploring how they affect various aspects of their lives, including employment opportunities and overall well-being. By providing a comprehensive overview of the current situation, this research aims to help policymakers and practitioners design and implement more effective skill development initiatives. The research study is descriptive on the basis of the secondary data. The various government reports are referred to collect secondary data.
