Indian knowledge commission estimates that out of the 175 million students who enroll in class 1
every year, only 20 million are able to finish class 12 and 88% plus drop out at various stages with
55% drop out before class 7 and 70% drop out by class 10.

152 million of these students have no access to any kind of vocational training. Over 93% gets
employed in unorganized sector.

It is estimated that about 54 lakh people between 18–29 years of age and Grade 12+ education level look for educated entry level jobs (Teamlease study FY09). 43% of these Job seekers are readily employable i.e. they have the skill sets required for entry level recruitment. But the remaining 57% lack the required skills and thus fail to fall under employable category.

The present Training Industry has matured only in IT and ITeS segments. It is only now that some players are entering into Retail, Hospitality and BFSI.The Training Industry still lacks differentiation on content and certification in terms of quality of content as well as Industry accepted certification. It also lacks in technology based delivery models and focussed offerings in targeted sectors.

Career training players are required to provide differentiated offerings for target sectors. To ensure cost, throughput and reach optimization they need to deliver training which based on innovative technology. Success in career training market will rely only if there are strong content partnerships, industry recognized brand and certifications, quality faculty, industry relationships and effective quality control across India.
