In the rapidly evolving landscape of 2026, the manufacturing sector faces a paradox: while technology advances, the “skills gap” remains a significant hurdle. For entry-level workers, the leap from a classroom or a rural background to a high-tech factory floor can feel like a chasm.

Daily Liv is bridging this gap through structured on-the-job training (OJT), transforming “unskilled” labour into a future-ready workforce.

Skilling the Unskilled: The Power of On-the-Job Training in Manufacturing

The Indian manufacturing industry is no longer just about manual labour; it is about precision, safety, and digital integration. However, many ITI and diploma graduates find that their theoretical knowledge doesn’t always translate to the shop floor. This is where on-the-job training in manufacturing becomes the ultimate equaliser.

By placing workers in the actual environment where they will work, companies can move past the “hiring crisis” and start building talent from within.

How Daily Liv Bridges the Skills Gap

Daily Liv doesn’t just place candidates; it prepares them. Through strategic partnerships with firms like MRF Tyres and Aptiv, Daily Liv’s training model ensures that every entry-level worker is productive from Day 1.

1. Hands-On Practical Experience

Unlike classroom-based learning, on-the-job training in manufacturing allows workers to handle actual machinery under expert supervision.

• Immediate Application: Workers learn welding, CNC machining, or electrical maintenance by doing, not just reading.
• Contextual Learning: Understanding why a safety protocol exists is easier when standing next to the machine it protects.

2. The “Daily Liv” Mentorship Model

Every trainee is paired with a seasoned mentor. This “buddy system” reduces the “new-hire anxiety” that often leads to high attrition in the first 30 days.

• Real-time Feedback: Mentors correct mistakes instantly, preventing costly quality defects later.
• Soft Skills Integration: Trainees learn workplace ethics, communication, and time management in a professional setting.

3. Safety-First Certification

In modern manufacturing, safety is non-negotiable. Daily Liv’s programs focus heavily on:

• PPE Compliance: Ensuring workers are comfortable and compliant with safety gear.
• Hazard Identification: Training workers to spot risks before they become accidents.

The ROI of Skilling the Unskilled

For fleet and factory owners, investing in OJT isn’t an expense—it’s a high-yield investment.

Benefit	Impact on Manufacturing
Lower Turnover	Trained workers feel more confident and are 40% less likely to quit.
Reduced Waste	Precision training leads to fewer “scrap” parts and rework.
Faster Scaling	Companies can hire “unskilled” talent and train them to specific needs.

Leveraging Government Schemes

Daily Liv aligns its programs with national initiatives to maximise benefits for both the worker and the employer:

• PMKVY 4.0: Leveraging the latest Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (Outbound Link) standards.
• Apprenticeship Incentives: Helping companies tap into the National Apprenticeship Promotion Scheme (NAPS) (Outbound Link).

FAQ: Training for Entry-Level Workers

Q: How long does a typical Daily Liv OJT program last?

A: Depending on the complexity of the role (e.g., assembly line vs. CNC operator), programs typically range from 15 to 90 days of intensive on-site training.

Q: Is on-the-job training in manufacturing effective for workers with zero experience?

A: Absolutely. In fact, unskilled workers often have fewer “bad habits” to unlearn. A structured OJT program builds a solid foundation from the ground up.

Q: How does Daily Liv ensure the quality of training?

A: We use a “Plan, Execute, Prove” framework. We set clear milestones for the trainee and conduct weekly assessments to ensure they are meeting the required technical standards.
