English Language as an Employment Skill in Diploma Engineering Course serves for Socio Economic Empowerment

Abstract Employment opportunity to the youth brings economic prosperity to a country. And diploma engineering education aims at empowerment of the youth with employability skills. The present study aims to develop LSRW skills with technical skills of the technocrats in their respective core engineering along with computer skills and the basic areas of software skills in the age of computer technology. This combination is an effective powerpack employability skill to enable the present generation students undergoing diploma engineering education. The 21st century technical age is an e-world and e-education is economical being easily available but dependent on English language. Also, the language dominating the software and digital world is the English Language. The research highlights on the different areas which provides a concrete and an earnest scope for employment to the undergraduate engineers. The youth population in India being the highest in the world, an empowerment to this population with the relevant employability skills will undoubtedly bring a significant economic development with sustainable livelihood to the economical weaker section. This research dictates inadequate research materials on the objectives of diploma education for employment opportunities to bring a rise in the standards of living of the people. The English language skills, digital literacy skills and digital technology skills will definitely empower the technocrats to reach the altitude of their career. In addition to these, implementation of the teaching methodology in English by both English faculties and technical faculties will enable the engineering students to meet the demands of Global job markets. The study urges further research while emphasizing on the combination of the dynamic skills which acts as a siren announcing an emergency call for efficient technocrats to make the slogan of “Made in India” and “Made in Odisha” successful.
