1. Introduction- This research is all about the Identification of gaps in Gem and

Jewellery skill training imparted by institutional training programme, so that topic itself covers

from Institute to Industry. This topic states about the identification of gaps in gem and jewellery

sector between institutional training and skill training.

As we all know jewellery business is more family oriented business so apart from

institutional training there is skill training exist. Skill training is a training in which trainee adopt

skill from skilled person (the person who is engaged in this field for long). So, we have to find

the difference between skill training and institutional training. Skill training is a training in which

teaching an individual how to perform the operations of a particular occupation; distinguished

from personal adjustment training, work adjustment, and the acquisition of basic employment

skills. Institutional training is training in which in addition to examinations, there is usually a

requirement for a long period of institutionalized training where aspiring professionals acquire

specified practical experience in some sort of trainee role before being recognized as a full

member of a professional body.

In that topic we have to cover Gem and Jewellery industry including their operations as

well as , demands of the industry and expectation from students. So we have to interact with

major Industry Players, Department heads along with employees working for these industries.

 I believe that apart from organized industry we also look for unorganized industry,

about their skill training and skill practice. Unorganized industry tells us how they adopt skill

leaning, how they train people.

The research will have wider scope and will cover respondents from the position of

C.E.O. to a common employee, this research also benefits all those who participated in different

ways, like a student who just pass out from an institute Students will prepare themselves that

they have that needed knowledge and in an particular industry, Students had to work and hone

their skills which were imparted by a formal training at the institutional level.

Scope of this research is as follows:

• In this topic we propose to collect the information about importance of institutional

training and whether the students are willing to implement these institutional based

skill trainings in industry.

• We also have to focus on comparative study of different institutes.

• Another important issue is What was taught by the institute to students?

• Whether teaching methods adopted by teachers, are found useful by the students?

• So we have to also interact with Institutes and their teachers to know about their

academic sessions. We should know about their teaching methodology.

• Whether institute‘s knowledge, skill given by them is useful to us for working in

industry.

• So we have to interact with ex-students of various colleges about skill that they adopt in

their institutes, whether them useful or not.

As we know this research covers a very large audience i.e. from Institute to Industry so

we have to pay attention on each and every step.

Based upon past research and literature review there are several Skill gaps existing. For

the purpose of this study some major gaps selected to be studied are as follows:

• Lack of practical education in colleges that is why student are not able recognize few

things.

• One man can do only one job i.e. that person have skill to perform a task only.

• Family oriented skill training usually imparts constraint training as singular methods

are being employed in the family business and the same is passed on from generation

to generation. This process does not facilitate development of skills as upcoming

generation will be unaware of modern practices and better alternative production

techniques.

This research will generate solutions to bridge skill gap.

2. Justifications- This research is important in many ways

i. It helps in identification of skill gaps between institutional training

and skill training.

ii. It helps students to know the difference between their skill and

industries demands.

iii. It helps in bridge skill gaps.

training.

v. Importance of skill training in Gem & Jewellery industry.

vi. To give solution to bridge the gap using suitable methods.

vii. Student’s feedback who are engaged in industry about their

institute and industry.

viii.Comparative studies of skill programs run by various institutes.

ix. Why skill training is useful?

4. Methods- We can use various methods like

i. Collection of secondary data (data available) using internet, books

and magazine etc.

ii. Collection of primary data (data that generate with interaction

from people).To be collected with the help of two separate

questionnaires to be filled by industry players, department heads,

workers, students and institutes.
