The courses are mainly focused to promote the vocational & technical training at secondary & senior secondary level. About 20% of the country population is in between the age group of 5-18 years and it is noted 70% dropouts are there from classes V to X and only 10% are going for higher education.Keeping in view this statistics and in order to avoid the exploitation of the unskilled workers these courses are introduced. The courses are of short duration from 3 to 6 months to 1 year. After their training they join the world of work to earn their livelihood in a very short span of time.
West Bengal State Council of Technical Education (WBSCTE) has given responsibility to Pirkhali Pathikrit to conduct various Short Term Vocational Training Courses (STVT) as because a sizeable proportion of the passed - out candidates from Madhyamik and Higher Secondary level either do not get admission in higher level of studies or somehow continue the higher education without much purpose.
To divert this section of candidates towards a job - oriented programme, Pirkhali Pathikrit took the initiative to introduce Short Term Vocational Training Program of 6 months duration.
