The Chief Minister Revanrh pointed out that a huge gap is visible between the courses offered in the institutions and the requirement of skilled manpower to the fast growing industries in various fields. The CM said that the new skill development training project is being taken up to bridge the gap and make available courses that provide more employment opportunities to the youth.
The state government is implementing this project in the ITIs at a cost of Rs.2700 crores. Tata Technologies will construct the required workshops, install machines, other equipment and also appoint tutors to provide training to the youth.
As part of the project, 9 new long term and 23 short term courses will be introduced in the ITI institutions. Skill development courses will be selected in all fields to ensure employment opportunities to the youth . 9000 people will be given admissions every year. About one lakh people will undergo training in short term courses.
The government also decided to make arrangements for the implementation of this project from this academic year (2024-25). CM Revanth Reddy instructed the representatives of Tata Technology to make workshops available for the academic session starting from October and appoint a sufficient number of tutors.
The CM also asked the company representatives to focus on campus placements to provide employment to the youth soon after the completion of the training. The Chief Minister suggested to officials to set up a special placement cell.
