The concept of earning while learning plays a vital role in enhancing employability skills among the students. The general education focuses on creating „general human capital‟, whereas the vocational education creates „technical or specific human capital‟. These schemes assist the students to pursue higher education along with gaining corporate exposure. The present study examined the impact of „Learn and Earn‟ initiative employability skills using a sample of 408 students in a vocational educational institution located in Pune, in the western Indian state of Maharashtra. The findings of this investigation confirmed the hypothesis that there is a significant positive relationship between vocational training and employability of students. The employability of students who participated in vocational-technical education was enhanced. The findings of this study are important for different stakeholders such as students, academicians, parents, sponsors, and institutions.
