As far as the employment of the JSS scheme beneficiaries is concerned, third party evaluation report of the scheme has observed that as an impact of the training programme conducted at JSSs, the self and wage employment and private job have become evident. The usefulness of the scheme would be further self-evident from the fact that same report has mentioned that 77.05% of the beneficiary trainees have undergone occupational shifts.
