Youth of nation is considered as the wealth of nations and hence the future of nation depends widely on the appropriate employability of the youth. The large availability of youth potential is not alone sufficient for the growth of the nation and creating more employment opportunities alone cannot help if the youth is incapable of extracting the opportunities available to them. There is always a need for collaboration of non-formal education in the formal education structure to increase the youth potential in getting the jobs. The required skills and capabilities are found to be inappropriate when seekers go for the job opportunities. This paper is an attempt to understand the need for the academia industry partnership in order to enable youth to develop their skills and abilities which are necessary for getting and performing a desired job. Paper consider the three tier perspective of industry, academia and stakeholders like teachers and students in understanding the challenges and need of bridging the industry academia gap.
