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 agriculture 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.
