 Recognition Prior Learning (RPL):

A large section of India’s unorganized workforce is unskilled and semi-skilled. Most of them pick up skills and knowledge informally while watching people or working under their guidance or through complete self-education. As a result, even though they manage to get a job and get a handsome salary or wages, they may not be able to enhance their skills. This also affects their productivity, skill development and quality of production. They need access to training programs and skills from their employers and to advance themselves. This is why Recognition Prior Learning (RPL) can help in evaluating and certifying them on their current competencies according to NSQF levels. RPL also shows them the way to bridge their current level of knowledge and skills to reach a competence level or go for higher skills for professional development.
