Workforce training and skill development for higher productivity: View from the industry

The LSSC team was at the India International Leather Fair (IILF 2018) held at Chennai from 31st January to 2nd February 2018 , to get a first hand experience of how varied sub-segments of leather are represented in this predominantly export-oriented industry. We also wanted to capture the views of some of the industry representatives in terms of capacity building through skilling their workforce for better productivity and quality output. Here are some excerpts from our conversations with a cross section of people who manage the manufacturing, design and production units and sales and marketing functions in different parts of India.

“Training is an essential part of the leather industry, we provide on-site training to new employees. We need impetus from the government for facilities and incentives for training of new comers. It would enhance the employability and fill skill gaps. Our training happens in-house; but we would love to have separate training facilities to avoid disruption to regular work. ”

We train unskilled workers for 6 to 7 months, we don’t have time to send them to any training institute; for design skills, we take help from institutes like FDDI. We are unable to get skilled workers. We have 200 people in each unit, and 3 units manufacturing leather products. For exports, quality assurance is done through customer expectation and requirements through samples. If we know about government schemes, we can avail them.”
