Pillar: Economic Participation
Ahmedabad places 6,217.1 apprentices per lakh youth, better than the typical district. The Apprenticeship Placement Cell is the administrative engine behind that number, matching trainees to employers.
70% of registered enterprises are in services while 30% are in manufacturing. Only 13% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Only 49% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12). Only 45% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Ahmedabad, which ranks 2 of 33 in Gujarat for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 53.5 out of 100. On ITI seats per lakh youth at 631.1 and informal workers with any social-security cover at 0%, it sits close to the national mark.
