The 3-day programme held at the IMTMA Technology Centre in Bengaluru from 28 – 30 December 2021 drew participation from 14 students. A 3-member jury from FANUC India, Indian Institute of Technology – Kharagpur (IIT-K) and IMTMA evaluated the students. Two of the student participants would be shortlisted to participate in WorldSkills Shanghai 2022.
The Association has always been in the forefront of supporting skill development initiatives and is actively supporting Skill India through NSDC and CGSC. It is happy to have conducted such an important initiative of World Skills India in our Tech Centre. Recognizing the need for ensuring availability of a large pool of workforce, IMTMA has been conducting training programmes through its Technology Centres in Bengaluru, Pune and Gurugram and imparting skill sets among engineers which will enable them to work with minimum supervision.
