JEPC launches state-level skill competition for Jharkhand government school students

JEPC announced a state‑wide skill competition targeting pupils enrolled in Jharkhand's government schools. The programme is designed to give young learners a platform to demonstrate vocational abilities and improve their employability prospects.
The contest will feature multiple skill streams such as computer literacy, electrical work, carpentry and other trades that align with the state's skill‑development priorities. Schools are being asked to register eligible candidates, after which district‑level preliminaries will filter participants for a final state‑level showdown.
JEPC officials said the initiative dovetails with the Jharkhand government's broader push to expand skill training and curb youth unemployment. Winners are slated to receive certificates, cash awards and pathways to advanced training or apprenticeship opportunities.
The council has appealed to school principals and teachers to circulate the details promptly and encourage maximum student participation.
