OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
The shrinking world due to the rapid technological developments has led to a fast-paced globalization which has given rise to the requirement of a gigantic skilled work force across the world. India with its vast human resource, is heading towards a new frontier of skilling evolving from Skills Development short courses to Skills Universities. Government of India too is taking large strides towards skilling the youth of the country. Skill development courses in India equip an individual with the basic skill set required to enter an industry. As a result, many of them remain at the entry level positions without any opportunity of career progression. At Takshinda, the students will be given extensive training in soft skills, communication skills, behavioral sciences and languages along with technical skills. They will be trained with a view to have the capacity and capability to grow from plain skilled workers to senior executives and managers. Dutch VET system is one the most comprehensive and flexible education system in the world. It maintains a strikingly good balance between the system’s accessibility, quality and efficiency. It’s built around the profession and the competences needed for that profession. Competences consist of knowledge, skills and attitude. Our collaboration with Dutch Vet system will bridge the gap between skilling and employability in our country and will empower our students in achieving global standards.
