                                  A. RATIONALE: 

Hard skills are a person’s skill set and ability to perform a  certain type of activity or task. Soft skills are a person’s ability to interact effectively with co-workers and customers. Hard skills are mainly applicable at the work place. Soft skills are broadly applicable both at and outside the work place. Soft skills complement the hard skills which  are occupational requirement of a job. It also complements many other activities even outside the work place. Presently soft skills are increasingly sought out by employers in addition to standard qualification. There are instances of professions where soft skills proved to be more important, on a long term basis than occupational skills. Soft skills refer to a number of features viz. behavior, personal finance management, communication, etc. those make persons excellent workers and suitable to work in a team. Studies suggest that soft skills are equally important indication of job performance as hard skills. Recognizing this importance of soft skills the National Council  for Vocational Training (NCVT) during its 38th Meeting held on 31st May, 2011 recommended introduction of subject “Employability Skills” replacing “Social Studies” in ITI curricula. Government of India accepted the above recommendation of the council (NCVT) and introduced the subject “Employability Skills” in ITI curricula in place of “Social Studies” from the August, 2012 session.
