Education technology and the integration of the skilling ecosystem with higher education have reached a new milestone with the launch of the Centre of Excellence for Aerospace Manufacturing Manpower Capacity Building at Aequs SEZ. This CoE is a collaboration between Aequs Private Limited, a leading name in contract manufacturing, and the renowned National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC). Medhavi Skills University (MSU), a pioneering institution in this field, has also joined hands with the project.
The programme offered under the Centre of Excellence is designed to equip youth with the latest, industry-relevant technical education, as per the new National Credit Framework and National Education Policy 2020. The curriculum is tailored to make the education more practical, relevant and accessible.
Founder & Chancellor of Medhavi Skills University, Pravesh Dudani, said: “While the trainees experience high-end practical on-the-job training at AEQUS’s state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities, MSU leads the participants through a process of continuous improvement, and in-depth academic courses, ensuring that learners are grounded in both theory and practice.”
Rajiv Kaul, COO of Aequs Private Limited, commented: “We are happy to partner with Medhavi Skill University and NSDC to develop this unique Degree – Bachelor of Vocation (B.Voc) in Aerospace Manufacturing Technology. As always, knowledge moves from Top to Bottom, we keep studying, and then we go to work, but this is the first time something has gone reverse; from the Bottom, we are coming to the Top.”
This initiative provides teachers with a unique opportunity to build bridges between the classroom and the industry. The educational experience of the students will be enriched with real-time experience in the manufacturing sector, engaging them with the latest technological advancements.
NSDC has trained nearly three crore individuals in various areas since its founding through its partnerships with training partners around India. The organization also provides concessional loans, other cutting-edge financial instruments, and strategic partnerships to facilitate the private sector’s capacity growth in skill development.
The Centre of Excellence for Aerospace Manufacturing Manpower Capacity Building is a groundbreaking project that allows teachers to provide students with an education that is both comprehensive and relevant to the industry. With the help of this project, students will not only have access to the best education available, but also gain valuable real-world experience.
