AI-based Adaptive Framework for Skill Assessment of students


Description

The Indian workforce is estimated to increase to approximately 600 Million by year 2022 from the current 473 million. As the workforce increases by about 27% during this period, the overall composition of the unorganized Sector and organized sector is likely to change from 92% and 8% today to 90% and 10% in 2022. Youth population ( Age 18-23) of India was around 23 Crores and in Tamil Nadu counts for 1.3 crores. According to India skill report 2019, 47% of the outgoing students are employable and left out 53% not having requisite skills to get employed in the organized sector.
Skill gap in Tamil Nadu, is a well established fact. Activities such as recruiting, career development, learning and developing, reskilling and upskilling suffer, as it is very hard to identify the skills of a candidate. To overcome this skill gap, we should have identified the acquired skills at the entry level of the college and try to reduce the skill gap , when he completed the degree program, But in TamilNadu , there is no entry level test for engineering, arts & science graduate, So the outgoing students faces the unemployment issues.
To understand the existing skills of a candidate, a proper assessment has to be conducted. This assessment must span all the young aspirants between 18 - 24 yrs of age of the entire state. A skill assessment test will assess their skills based on their profile and suggest improvements if any, job opportunities etc. Introduction of such a skill test and making it available for everyone, will help the fresh graduates to procure jobs and upcoming aspirants to identify the areas of strengthening. Overall this will help in building skills of a candidate.

WSIS values promotion

Skill gap in Tamil Nadu, is a well established fact. Activities such as recruiting, career development, learning and developing, reskilling and upskilling suffer, as it is very hard to identify the skills of a candidate. To overcome this skill gap, we should have identified the acquired skills at the entry level of the college and try to reduce the skill gap , when he completed the degree program, But in TamilNadu , there is no entry level test for engineering, arts & science graduate, So the outgoing students faces the unemployment issues. Issues: ● There is no proper ML & AI augmented skill measurement tool in the market. ● There is no standardized skill testing tool to identify the inherent skills of students ● The students are not informed on the various types of skill tests conducted by corporates. ● Universities do not conduct any type of Screening or entry evaluation test, to understand the skill profile of the students. ● Corporate time is wasted on conducting entry-level screening tests. ● The government has not created a comprehensive skill analysis tool to understand the profile of the young population ● Also Corporate time and manpower is wasted in interviewing unsuitable recruits. Our solution is a tool used to find out students’ skill level using machine learning techniques to generate new insights from the data. In India about 17% of the population are students and out of which, 6% of the population are looking for jobs (freshers). Out of which 47% get employed and 53% are jobless. Also, out of 47% employed, only 20-25% are hired on campus. Most of them fail the job screening test given by the corporates, since they are not prepared for that, and the institutions doesn’t train and mentor them on similar tests.
