If unemployed youth get only certificates but no work opportunity, what is the weakness of the programme?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Lack of market linkage, placement support and employment guidance
Certificates alone do not ensure employment. An effective skill-development programme must connect learners with employers, provide placement support, and offer employment or self-employment guidance so that trained youth can access work opportunities. A short training duration may be a separate concern, but the stated weakness is the lack of connection to employment opportunities. Exam tip: Link the gap between certification and jobs with ‘market linkage and placement support’.
