South Andaman places 662.3 apprentices per lakh youth, better than the typical district. The Apprenticeship Placement Cell is the administrative engine behind that number, matching trainees to employers.
84% of registered enterprises are in services while 16% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 76% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In South Andaman, which ranks 1 of 3 in Andaman and Nicobar Island for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 54.9 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on ITI seats per lakh youth at 1,457.7. On informal workers with any social-security cover at 0%, it sits close to the national mark.
