Pillar: Education & Training
Pathanamthitta trains 302.3 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, better than the typical district. Of those trained, 86% go on to get certified, close to the typical district. The Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra is a dedicated centre for this short-course, certification-linked training.
78% of registered enterprises are in services while 22% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Higher secondary enrollment (classes 9–12) is 127%, likely reflecting students enrolling from neighbouring areas. Only 11% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Pathanamthitta, which ranks 8 of 15 in Kerala for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 55.8 out of 100. It runs ahead of the national picture on apprentices per lakh youth at 457.1.
