Abstract

Introduction - Skills and knowledge are the driving forces behind every country's economic and social progress. In the digital era, ICT materials such as PPT, Tutorial Videos, Animation, e-materials, and web resources are quite useful in the education sector for improved comprehension.


Aim of the study - To detect ICT skills among teacher who teach vocational skills in educational institutions. To determine the techniques and ICT technologies that will be used in the institutions to provide vocational skills. To get a better understanding of the issues that vocational skill providers confront, as well as the improvements and refinements that are necessary for the current system.


Research Methodology - The sample was chosen using a multistage random sampling process. This research looked at all of the skill-training institutes and centres in Dindigul's Taluks. For this study, a total of 250 vocational skill-providing teachers were chosen. The statistics package for social science (SPSS) was used to analyse the data.


Data analysis – The data collected have been analysed using frequency, percentage, graphs and statistics package for social science (SPSS) was used to analyse the data.


Conclusion - It is concluded that, 50.8 percent of respondents believe there is a poor amount of ICT-based reference resources for soft skill training. Simultaneously, the majority of respondents (88%) expressed an interest in receiving training in ICT-based occupational skill instruction. As a result, all occupational skill providers should get intensive ICT-based teaching and learning training. Institutions must create a suitable environment for ICT-based education.
