IITMPTF and SWAYAM Plus join hands for a great course
IITMPTF is partnering with the SWAYAM Plus initiative of the Union Education Ministry to launch a training program in the Semiconductor Industry for Students and graduates.
This skill-based training program is intended for engineering and science students and graduates from Electronics/Electrical/ Mechanical/Manufacturing/Production disciplines.
This short-term training program will be taught in physical mode at IIT Madras and will focus on the semiconductor Industry, say sources from IITMPTF.
The program offers placement assistance for high-performing students and will make them industry-ready by skilling them with hands-on training.
Aim
This program aims to inspire students and industry partners to pursue careers in electronics and tackle challenging scientific problems relevant to societal needs and sustainable growth.
It is proposed to provide hands-on training accompanied by background theory on the subject delivered by experts from IIT Madras, say sources from IITMPTF.
Joint initiative
SWAYAM Plus is a joint initiative by the Ministry of Education, Government of India and IIT Madras, launched in line with National Education Policy’s focus on promoting and encouraging employability-focused, skilling courses, say sources from IITMPTF.
It aims to build employable skills among graduates across sectors critical to India’s growth. The aim is also to align industry skills with academic courses, thereby bridging the gap.
Importance
Prof. R. Sarathi, Dean (Planning), IIT Madras highlighted the importance of this initiative.
Skills development is a National movement to provide Indians with opportunities to fully develop potential throughout their life, regardless of their prior experience, he said.
Through this movement, the skills, passion and contributions of every individual will drive India’s next phase of development towards an advanced economy and inclusive society, he said.
Prof Sarathi further said these training program aims to bridge the gap between idealized concepts learnt from the foundational courses in engineering and the real world.
Our experience indicates that there is a need to strengthen the skills needed in general engineering and to build an intuition in relation to that, he said.
The contents of the training program for engineering students are identified through the skill gap between engineering curriculum and practicing engineer, he said.
Accommodation will be offered at IIT Madras campus at a basic cost of Rs 650 per day per student, which includes food and stay, say sources from IITMPTF.
Request for accommodation can be made 4 days ahead the start of the respective training slots.
