A
brain surgeon or medical doctor will fail if she or he tries to
do difficult plumbing job.
But an illiterate but experienced plumber in India can do that job
perfectly because he has skills and develops it everyday with experience.
A brain surgeon's expertise is brain surgery and not plumbing.
So a brain surgeon should update latest technology & issues
related to brain as well as expert & experienced doctor's skill.
A
nurse can not do heart operation even if she is there in the operation
theatre while operation is done.
This is because she is not skilled to operate. She is skilled to
offer help, not operation skills. And she is not certified to do
operation.
Yes, both her and doctor spend same time in operation theatre. Infact
she spends more time.
So a doctor has a medical skills to operate and has sufficient certification,
knowledge & experience.
So skill
development is for people from all categories in all countries.
Because even if one has skills, one must update them because new
technologies are emerging.
But we limit our skill development forum to only a few skills, typically
for those who desparately need them for their survival.
Skill development
is practical experience.
Seminars, conferences or experts on the issue based in different
countries or within the country where one lives update the skills
you have.
We share the
programmes related to skill development from different countries
but with a difference.
We share links to the programmes and not our views because everyone
has different views or perspectives.
And we dont want to be the judge.
The other important thing about links is one can directly reachout
to related NGOs, Corporates, Funding Agencies, Philanthropists,
celebrities, UN and Government.
"Not through us" is important because we dont want to
be in betweens or agents. And more importantly, we can not do justice
to answering thousands of calls on which NGO on which issue or which
corporate helps particular issue or for a particular issue which
funding agency helps in any specific country.
The insufficient
skills and illiteracy compel the poor section of the society to
put more physical efforts than those which really need.. So despite
sweating hard, they manage only daily wage.
Because they dont have skills, they use human labour elements.
If the
same person is a skilled plumber, then it benefits her or him live
life and gives them relaxation time to conserve energy for tomorrow.
Its the same
story for skilldevelopment or children or disabled or women or youth
or whatever category one thinks of.
Even in the
films, a skiiled actor doesnt need too many retakes.
The first shot manytimes is ok. It not only saves time for her or
him, but for all the people associated there and it really makes
economic sense to be skilled artist.
Now for some,
this skill was always there but even the best artist is not a perfect
artist.
She or he needs to upgrade skills, know latest technological advances
.. so skill development is like a Change which is constant. |
