The aspect of migration has changed over the years. The number of educated people, who established their occupation abroad has increased. Skilled workers are an urgent and indispensable requirement in job markets in India and across the world. It is therefore important to upgrade the skills of the young workforce who are seeking employment and those who have lost jobs outside Kerala. Realizing this, NORKA ROOTS has decided to provide a support system to provide sufficient training and orientation to prospective emigrants. Skill Up gradation Programme focuses on upgrading the skills of Keralites to meet the challenges in the employment market. The programme aims to bring knowledge, deep functional expertise, and a practical approach to building capabilities and delivering real impact. The skill upgradation programme is implemented through ITIs. In 2015-16 the cost of the programme was approximately Rs. 6,000/- out of which Rs.1,200/- per candidate was provided by government.
