Pillar: Education & Training
Hoshiarpur trains 342.8 youth per lakh under short-term skilling programmes, better than the typical district. 31.5% of young women aged 15 to 21 are out of education, close to the typical district. The Jan Shikshan Sansthan focuses non-formal skilling on dropouts and women who need a route back into livelihoods without returning to a classroom.
80% of registered enterprises are in services while 20% are in manufacturing. Only 3% of employment is in small and medium enterprises. 82% of school-age children are enrolled in higher secondary school (classes 9–12).
In Hoshiarpur, which ranks 9 of 23 in Punjab for youth opportunity, the overall opportunity score is 53.3 out of 100. It trails the national picture on women in the labour force at 37.7%. On skilling trainees who get certified at 94.3%, it sits close to the national mark.
