With a growing demand for skilled hands in advanced technologies, Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) have partnered with an automobile company to train students in the electric vehicle (EV) segment.
An automobile company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ITI to set up an electric vehicle laboratory for training youths, while two other MoUs were signed with pharmaceutical companies to establish laboratories for learning advanced technology. All these advanced centres will be set up in Dhar, which houses one of the largest industrial areas— Pithampur.
ITI (Indore division) training and placement officer Meena Lohiya said, “The requirement for a skilled talent pool is growing. To bridge the gap between rapidly updating skills in industries and available academic programmes, we are tying up with industries. These industries will set up advanced facilities in Dhar to polish and upskill youths.”
Lohiya said, as per the MoU, the automobile company will train students in various verticals of EV and will onboard a few selected candidates upon completion of the training. The EV training laboratory is under process and will come up in Dhar. Two more laboratories to train students in computers and advanced technologies were set up by pharmaceutical companies in Dhar.
ITI started a course on Internet of Things (IOT) at Ujjain and Bhopal centres with 40 seats each, respectively, while the trade on drone was kicked off in Indore.
