Abstract: Currently in India, there is a lot of initiatives taken in terms of skill development for employability targeting the general population. It has been found that Work-integrated learning is more effective for students’ development in terms of generic skills. The objective of the paper is to develop an optimum model for skill based curriculum and its impact particularly in terms of employability in India. This will aid in creating templates for selection criteria in skill schools and identifying the potential and feasible skill oriented courses by matching employability and skill gap. Taking into account the current needs of skill acquisition we have attempted to link the prominent areas by keeping the employability potential in Indian market. Some of the key areas identified for skill gap is Immigrant Education, Marketing for New Startups, Tourism for Disabled, Inclusion, Online Marketing for Small Business, Prior Learning Assessment, Advertising, Personal Branding, Radio/TV/Movies and Environmental Studies.
