Abstract
School to work transition and the preparation for the world of work are highly important aspects in India’s education and training policy (King 2012).
India has a huge potential which does not only manifest itself in the growing population and the huge number of youths who stream into the education and labour market system; its economic and geostrategic position at the interface between Asia and the Arab region is of high relevance for economic growth and future developments.
