(a) National Skills Gap Survey
The National Skills Council (NSC), National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) in conjunction with other relevant State vocation agencies should work together to conduct a national skills gap survey (this is currently ongoing), to identify specific skill gaps across the country. This survey will be carried out on a State-based basis in order to capture the exact needs and skills shortages, with the aim of designing and promoting demand-based training across the country.

A National Skills Database should be set up – to capture TVET skills gaps and all other relevant information acquired during the national skills survey. In addition, the database should be repository for the number of TVET students trained and an inventory for matching TVET graduates with specific industries across the states.
