MES, he said, plans to play a significant role for both industries and employees. At present 340 skills are shortlisted under the training scheme covering over 80 per cent of industry skills.
A certified employee will contribute to the industry by reducing productions losses nearly 30 per cent as he will be confident of delivering the goods.
The MES certificate will elevate the self esteem of a worker to a higher level and will turn him into an asset for the industry.

He promised Centre’s assistance and funding for the training programme to enable the unemployed youth and unskilled workers. He advised the Mysore Industries Association (MIA), which organised the interaction, to take a lead and impart various skills to the unemployed youth.
