Abstract: | Vocational education and skill development constitute a critical component of the Indian higher education landscape, pivotal in training the nation's labour force. Despite its significance, the sector has suffered from chronic underinvestment, inadequate oversight, and a deficit in high-quality training, resulting in sustained reputation damage among the youth. Nevertheless, vocational programs remain crucial for enhancing employability and fostering an entrepreneurial mindset. This project aims to investigate and delineate the systemic issues plaguing the Indian vocational education system while also identifying the concerns and needs of key stakeholders, including students, graduates, and faculty members. Utilising foresight research methodologies and systems thinking frameworks, this research constructs plausible alternative and normative futures to formulate comprehensive, multi-faceted policy recommendations. These recommendations are designed to reimagine vocational education in a manner that nurtures entrepreneurial capacities and reduces unemployability among Indian youth. |
