STI- Skills Training Initiative Carnival

Skills Training Initiative Carnival was initiated by EWRF and C3G which details out the complete coverage of awareness to Indian youth especially from the rural area. This Carnival will be conducted in 16 venues through out the country from 22nd of August 2009 till 11th October 2009.

A special team of volunteers from various NGO’s and individuals will be organising these Carnivals  in their respective districts which aims to maximize the effort in search of Indian youths to join the skills training institutes like IKBN and ILP. The main idea for this carnival to take place is to capitalised the available training resources sponsored by government and channel it to the Indian Malaysians especially for those in rural areas who did not excel well in their PMR and SPM examination.

Goals and Objectives of Skills Training Initiative Carnival
     
      - To encourage students between 18 years to 25 years to participate in courses which are fully sponsored by government agencies i.e.
         IKBN & ILP.

      - To ensure the students are provided with proper guidance in selecting the available courses.

      - To ensure the quota allocated to Indian Malaysians are fully utilised and to create a demand to the Government to consider for more         allocation in the near future.

      - To ensure at least 1500 to 2000 seats to be filled by our Indian Malaysians on yearly basis for all the skills training courses sponsored by the         Government.

      -To change the mind set of most Malaysian Indians who assumes that skills training will not give them a good image , they have to understand         that  3/5 of the work force in Malaysia are skills related work and the global demand and return for such skills are very high.
