What is skill matrix?
Skill matrix is a tool to assess training needs. It is a table that shows skills of individuals in a team and any gaps between the skills of employees and the job roles they have. It is also known as a competency framework. If behind the maximum level, retrain and evaluate. Skill matrix is nothing but the competencies you want to rate your employees. they include like communication, leadership, job knowledge, organizational culture, self development, critical thinking, decision making , initiations etc....we have to provide ratings for each competency starting from 1 to 10 (low to high). This competency helps the organization to understand the areas of improvement for the employee and also identifies the training needs required for the employee. This helps and encourages employee to improve along with team spirit. This skill matrix is one of the tools to understand whether employee is able to think out of box or not. Skill matrix is a simple and visual tool to show who has training and experience in what skill. Here is an example of a skill matrix that is used in office, and here is a skill matrix template.

Critical skills are those minimum skills required to successfully accomplish the assigned work/job. If skill of worker or employees lies below the critical skill, then the productivity of workers is hampered and the organizational output will be affected. Non-critical skills are those skills, which help in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization. It helps in achieving the benchmark of productivity of an organizational output.
4 QUADRANT MODEL OF CRITICAL SKILL MAPPING: Toyota Motor, Japan recently developed the four-quadrant model of critical skill mapping. The skill of workers is mapped on quadrant of a circle from 0 to 4. Each quadrant defines the level of skills of a worker. The specification of each quadrant is given below: No of quadrant s to be filled

The paper deals in Preparation of quadrant chart for every employee working in operation section and also the Analysis of quadrant chart. A Study conducted on Life skill mapping in Vietnam by National Institute for Education Strategies and curriculum and supported by UNESCO 2 states those life skills refers to individual’s ability (Knowledge, Values, Attitude, and Skills) to perform life functions and to fully participate in daily life. A Study conducted on Skills Mapping and Skill development for employability: The Case of Cuttack by Annop.K.satpathy, Jimuta.P.Mishra, Nishith Prakash 3
(Faculty member in Economics, Assistant professor, Ohio University) states that the impact of Globalization on society and Economy is encapsulated in its effects on the labour market. It has accentuated the skill components in labour. In order to evaluate the impact on globalization the search for social specifies is imperative. There is a need for an analysis of the labour market at a disaggregated level with a focus on: a) the skill training infrastructure available in each locality, and its effectiveness in nurturing employability, b) The importance of partnership between training institutions with other social actors. In this regard paper attempts to examine the case of Cuttack District in Orissa. A description of the types of industries and the means of acquisition of skills is also given in order to gauge the growth pattern and the likely demand for skills in the district.

Research means scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specific topic. The Advanced Learners Dictionary of current English lays down the meaning of research as a “careful investigation or an enquiry especially through search for new facts in any branch of knowledge”. Research comprises of defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggesting solutions; collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making decisions and reaching conclusions, and at last carefully testing the conclusion to determine whether they fit the formulating hypothesis.
Research is thus an original
contribution to the existing stock of knowledge making for its advancement. According to Clifford Woody, research comprises defining and redefining problems, formulating hypothesis or suggesting solution, collecting, organizing and evaluating data; making deduction and reaching conclusion and
at last carefully testing the conclusions to determine whether they fit the formulation hypothesis.
2.1 Research Design: “A research design is the arrangement of conditions for collection and analysis of data
in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy in procedure”.
16 Research design is the conceptual structure within which research is conducted; it constitutes the blueprint for the collection, measurement and analysis of data. The type of research design used in the project was Descriptive research, because it helps to describe a particular situation prevailing within a company. Careful design of the descriptive studies was necessary to ensure the complete interpretation of the situation and to ensure minimum bias in the collection of data. Descriptive Research are those studies which are concerned with describing the characters of a particular individual or group.
2.2 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE Sampling is the selection of some part of an aggregate or totality on the basis of which a judgment about the aggregate or totality is made. Simple random sampling method was used in this project. Since population was not of a homogenous group, Stratified technique was applied so as to obtain a representative sample. The employees
were stratified into a number of subpopulation or strata and sample items (employees) were selected from each stratum on the basis of simple random sampling.
2.3 SIZE OF THE SAMPLE For a research study to be perfect the sample size selected should be optimal i.e. it should neither be excessively large nor too small. Here the sample size was bounded to 8
Period of study: The present study had been undertaken for period of 1 month.
17
2.4 DATA COLLECTION METHOD For the survey, we have taken the help of primary and secondary data. Primary data For primary data collection we have used the following methods 1. Questionnaire in form of job modules We have developed a questionnaire for section head and supervisor for job module evaluation of worker’s critical skills. The number of modules to successfully accomplish the job is same for similar designation or group of similar kind of jobs. The evaluation was done from 0 to 4 quadrants.
2. Observation method Observation and scaling (from 0 to 4) of critical skill on quadrant was given by the sectional head and supervisor of workers. The scale defines the competency of employee in particular job modules. For Example: Mr. Saravana Kumar of Operation section, got Second quadrant scale in Extrusion process. It means that he has working knowledge of these modules but he can’t work independently. He needs supervision for working on this module. Secondary Data For secondary data we referred to the company profile, Literatures, journals, periodicals, internet, intranet, etc

Analysis and interpretation plays the most important role in any research process. It helps to extract pertinent findings from the collected data by applying the statistical techniques in discovering additional findings. It converts raw data into meaningful data by bridging the gap between primary and secondary data. Analysis is done with an attempt to organize and summaries data in order to enhance the effect of results in such a way that enables to relate critical points with study’s objectives.
Percentage analysis is used for data analysis and interpretation. Analysis and interpretation was based on questionnaire and observation schedule, which gives the data that, is required for the study. The analysis and interpretation is based on the options chosen by the respondents. There are 8 employees in the Operation Section of Zerust VCI Film with different designations. The HR department has identified different modules or critical skills for each designation. The designations and the respective number of modules are given below: DESIGNATION
NO. OF EMPLOYEES
OPERATOR

3.2 FINDINGS: •
The training modules and needs are identified
•
The main finding in this project is said to be preparation of skill map for the operators.
•
The skill level of operators are found out by preparing skill map,
•
The skill map also shows that who is lacking in which process, based on that special attention and training will be given.
•
The skill map also shows who performs well.
•
Thus skill map act as a tool to analyze the performance of employees before training and after training.
• • •
41 3.3 SUGGESTIONS:
After critical skill mapping of the employees of operation section of the Harita-NTI Ltd. Production department, the following are our recommendations to this department: 1). The critical skill mapping study reveals the various skills of workers in which they are expert or they are lacking. Special training program should be arranged for those employees who are lacking in their respective modules. 2) We have found from our study that some operators are lacking in cutting and sealing process and packing process. Thus special attention must be given in this process training. 3) The mapping is done by the supervisors of the department. Thus it should be shared with all the operators so that they come to know about their skill level and try to improve it. 4) There should be provision for sending the operators outside the company for training program. 5) All training modules should be evaluated at proper time and this activity should be carried out regularly. 6) Training should be as per work requirement and should be given at the right time.
7) The prior information for the training programs should be given to the workers. So care must be taken in this matter and prior notice that is before 2-3 days should be given to all the operators for training.
42 8) There should be transparency in organizing training program and should be arranged for operators according to the work requirement. 9) More emphasis on ON-THE-JOB training should be given. 10) The selection criteria for training should be suitable. It should match with the qualification of the employees. For example if he is less qualified and sent to higher technical training program, it will prove ineffective. Hence, training should be provided by taking into account the platform and background of the employee. 11) Many a times workers are given training on a particular module; later on they are transferred to other job, which does not have any relation to the training attended by them. They don’t even get a chance to perform what they have learnt from previous training program. 12) Training schedules should be prepared according to the availability of candidate. 13) Advance skill program for personnel should be conducted. 14) The concerned faculty should come and understand the working condition and environment before the program. 15) It must have equal proportion of technical and managerial inputs.
16) More and more outside party and consultants should be invited to improve the quality of inputs. 17) Program can be made more interesting during the theoretical sessions by discussions of actual case study 43
3.4 CONCLUSION:
Harita-NTI Ltd. today stands proud as a modern manufacturing company. It is more than a company; it is an institution concerned with the interest of its all stakeholders as well as its employees. The future of an organization largely depends upon its productivity; productivity depends upon its employees. Thus employees should be trained in best possible way to increase the productivity. For this purpose Harita-NTI Ltd possesses an effective training center that takes the responsibility of training the employees. The responsibility of a training organization does not end at imparting training but also it is extended to the evaluation of the training program, which is most neglected factor in every organization. So every organization should conduct the training effectiveness survey like critical skill mapping each time. Critical skill mapping helps to indicate the image of management in the mind of employees as well as their capabilities and attitudes. As it has been found out from the survey and its analysis that the training program in this department is effective, still some weaknesses have been discovered for which some suggestions have been given. But most of the operators demand that they should be given more technical training, which can be applied in a more practical way in their work. They also demand training programs from national and international companies. So step should be taken towards it fulfillment.
One of the reasons for our project was to discover the skills possessed by the operators. The evaluation of these data would help the company to critically analyze the skills in their employees and recognize the need of training.
