Pillar: Education & Training
Wayanad trains 342.9 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, better than the typical district. Of those trained, 94% 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.
75% of registered enterprises are in services while 25% are in manufacturing. Only 5% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. Higher secondary enrollment (classes 9–12) is 176%, likely reflecting students enrolling from neighbouring areas. Only 20% of ITI trainers are certified.
In Wayanad, which ranks 15 of 15 in Kerala for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 52.3 out of 100. It trails the national picture on apprentices per lakh youth at 166.5.
