85,401 candidates have been trained in the State of Andhra Pradesh under PMKVY during the last three years.

(c) & (d) Under PMKVY, placement opportunities have been facilitated to STT certified candidates, and since RPL involves the process of certification of already existing skills, it is not linked  with  placements. Under PMKVY, as on 30.06.2023, 56.81 lakh candidates have been certified and 24.38 lakh candidates have been reported placed, which is around 43%.

The  Government  has  taken  various  initiatives  to  increase  the  opportunities  for placement  of  certified  candidates,  such  as  organizing  Rozgar  Melas  and  apprenticeship mela.  Rozgar  Melas  are  organized  with  the  support  of  Sector  Skill  Councils,  training providers  and  implementing  agencies  to  directly  link  the  candidates  with  the  potential employers.
