Each VTC under the scheme may cater to 5 vocational courses in traditional skills depending upon the employment potential of the area. Further, under the schemes of SCA to TSS and Article 275(1) of the Constitution, the Government has adopted a multi-pronged strategy for income generation among tribal people including the tribal youth through skill  development  and  various  training  programmes.

Besides, Tribals earn a part of livelihood income through procurement and sale of Minor Forest Produces (MFPs). In addition, they undertake primary level value-addition of MFPs which fetch them better prices. Tribal Cooperative  Marketing  Development  Federation  of  India  Ltd.(TRIFED),  a  Co-operative  Society  under  the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, organizes skill up-gradation training for the tribals to enable them master the good practices of collection, storage, value-addition & marketing so that they can get higher earnings from such secondary sources.

Further, National Scheduled Tribes Finance and Development Corporation (NSTFDC), a Central Public Enterprise  under  the  Ministry  of  Tribal  Affairs  also  implements  various  schemes  for  self-employment  of Scheduled Tribes who are unemployed or underemployed such as (i)Terms Loan Scheme (ii) Adivasi Mahila Sashaktikaran Yojana (iii)Micro Credit Scheme for Self Help Group (iv) Adivasi Shiksha Rrinn Yojana'.
