To meet additional requirements for funds Government of Andhra Pradesh has set up a '''skill development fund.''' This fund will be used to fund all the sub-missions, spreading awareness for the program, conducting post placement tracking and implementing an IT based monitoring system.<ref name=autogenerated2 /> Apart from training of the unemployed youth providing self-employment skills is also a part of the program. The core strategy of RYK includes pre-identification of jobs in the private sector, conducting the required training for the youth and offering placements.

The target for placements and the actual number of placements achieved for each year from 2011 to 2013 are given in the following table:

{| class="wikitable"

| 2013-14|| 3.2 || 1.65
|}<ref>[http://ryk.cgg.gov.in/MissionWiseBMReport.do?mode=consolidated_placement :: Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu ::]</ref>

There are some non negotiables in the programme which include:

Before training a counselling session is held in which all the details about the salary, job, working conditions, perks, shifts etc. are told. RYK provides placements only in the private sector and no government jobs are offered after the training. Apart from training and placements, direct placements and job melas are also conducted as part of the placement services.<ref name=autogenerated5>http://ryk.cgg.gov.in/htmlfiles/Annual%20report%20final.pdf</ref> The students are allowed to attend the training only once. They will not be given any stipend during the training period.<ref>http://ryk.cgg.gov.in/htmlfiles/Yuva%20for%20youth.pdf</ref>
the candidates will also be provided '''post placement support services.''' Such services would include:
* accommodation/hostel facility,
* opening of salary account,
* insurance,
* access to health services
* counseling services<ref name=autogenerated5 />
To monitor the attendance of the candidates in a more effective manner, the Government of Andhra Pradesh introduced the biometric system of attendance.<ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Vijayawada/biometric-system-to-monitor-ryk-training-programme/article3535955.ece?ref=relatedNews Biometric system to monitor RYK training programme - The Hindu]</ref>

=== Implementation ===
A web portal has also been established for implementation and monitoring of the programme. The first step is to identify the demand in the industries and potential of growth in these industries. The next step involves mobilization of the unemployed youth by the ground staff which includes the APM (assistant project manager), JRP (Job Resource Person), CF (Community Facilitator), CO (Community Organizers) and RP (Resoucre Persons). Mobilization is also done through SHG's. RYK targets the bottom most level of the pyramid, hence villages and slum areas are also covered in the mobilization process. After the youth has been mobilized successfully, an electronic registration of candidates interested in taking up the training is done. The next step involves mapping the job opportunities available. The youth are trained in training centres working with RYK, where they are given industry specific skills. Finally, the gap between demand and supply is bridged by conducting placements. A post-placement follow up is also done to check the retention rate of candidates, address their grievances.<ref name=autogenerated3 />

=== IT System ===
* Registration of the Candidate: The candidate's details are validated by checking the ration card or the SSC number. His/Her preference for training is also taken into account.
* Mobilization: Call letters are issued to selected candidates. Photo of candidate is uploaded while reporting for the training.
* Course Master: Duration of the course and fee structure should be standardized.
* Training Centre Registration: All centres are registered and their infrastructure details are recorded.
* Batch Mapping: Candidates are mapped to the batch once they reach the centre.

=== Training Centres ===
Training centres run by professional training partners have been partnered with to undertake training for youth registered under RYK. These training centres are selected through a two-stage bidding process. These are private training centres managed by the Government. The training centres have the responsibility of taking up training of unemployed youth and their placement.<ref name=autogenerated2 />
The training centres offer a variety of courses ranging from [[Finance]] to [[Sales]]. These courses are usually of 30 days to 90 days period.<ref name=autogenerated6 />
