Tata Technologies is gearing to set up 4.0 Skilling Centres in Telanga, which will provide skill-development training to students. These Industry 4.0 technology centres—which will offer job-oriented training—will cost a minimum of Rs 1,500 crore.
The need to introduce modern technology and courses in the industrial training institutes (ITIs) across the state was felt, so that the youth become more employable in the rapidly-changing tech landscape. This need will be fulfilled with the help of the Tata Technologies’ centres, which will offer courses in industrial automation, electric vehicles (EV) mechanics, robotics manufacturing, advanced CNC machine technology, basic designing and so on at the ITIs.
About one lakh students will benefit from this collaboration between Tata Tech and Telangana government.
This collaboration will see Tata Technologies offering 22 new short-term and five long-term courses to polytechnic and engineering students, via modern technical workshops, making them more employable in the manufacturing sector. Tata Tech will offer support to the ITIs, in terms of training and related infrastructure, for five years. A memorandum of understanding will be signed between the company and the Labour and Employment Department of Telangana.
Two master trainers will be appointed by Tata Tech at each of the 50 ITIs already identified, and the machines and software required will also be provided by the firm.
The courses are expected to help the youth land better jobs and also develop entrepreneurship skills, so that they go on to set up their own businesses or industries.
