Tata Technologies Launches ‘Ready Engineer’ Program at NIT, Jamshedpur
Tata Technologies announced the launch of its ‘Ready Engineer’ - its corporate sustainability initiative for better engineering education – at National Institute of Technology (NIT), Jamshedpur. Initially a batch of 90 students from NIT Jamshedpur will undergo this program.
Initiated by Tata Technologies, the ‘Ready Engineer’ program will identify meritorious 3rd & 4th year engineering students from colleges across India who will be a part of this unique 40 hour classroom-based training process, which is led by experts. Tata Technologies’ proprietary engineering training platform, iGETIT®, will provide students access to the largest library of online training and tutorials during the course of the program.
Speaking on the occasion, Anubhav Kapoor, Company Secretary & General Counsel, Tata Technologies said; “While India produces a few lakh qualified engineers annually, industry routinely faces an acute shortage of engineers who are employable or industry-ready to immediately deliver on engineering services projects after graduating out of colleges. The Tata Technologies’ Corporate Sustainability Program (CSP) has identified technical education as a core agenda. The ‘Ready Engineer’ initiative will help us to address the industry need for employable engineers by providing adequate supply of a high-quality engineering talent pool.”
“The Tata group has been instrumental in raising the bar for education in various fields of study. NIT Jamshedpur is proud to be associated with the Ready Engineer program. The institute has always been a breeding ground for some of the best engineering minds and this commendable corporate sustainability initiative will help provide better technical education for budding engineers in a very suitable manner”; said Prof. Rambabu Kodali, Director NIT, Jamshedpur.
Prof. Kodali also emphasized that domain knowledge and skills are key factors for the professional growth of students. In the present scenario, there is a need for such collaborative programmes with industry for continuously improving the quality of technical education.
